You call me the idiot but you originally tried to correct what I said which was that the main distinction between the large business owner and a small business owner is their level of success. You said its actually how rich their parents are. Which is just a vacuous anti capitalist virtue signal that even you realize isn't the actual distinction. You were just tone policing because the way I framed it almost made it sound meritocratic but my actual point was they are essentially (albeit very uneven) competitors driving at the same goal. So I don't see any particular moral high ground in being the loser in that race, even if you did start with a handicap.
But yeah I've seen pirates of silicon valley and none of that **** changes my point either bro. I'm not saying they don't cut throats to get ahead either.

No because your position is anti-intellectual cope to justify the idea that you can just start a business and become wealthy as a a vague ideal to strive for in order to put out of your mind oceans of history and context that suggest that you're essentially just playing the lottery in which your failure is mathematically highly likely unless you are of a particular economic stratum.
