I think that's a funny example because he's on record saying that if you're not rich, it's your own fault. Which is of course absurd, just thought it was a fun

I think that's a funny example because he's on record saying that if you're not rich, it's your own fault. Which is of course absurd, just thought it was a funny coincidence given my question and your reply. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8377924 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8377924 edit: Apparently, Alibaba put out a statement saying that this oped with the tone-deaf statement was not written by Jack Ma. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8378020 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8378020

he said if you're poor at 35, then its your fault. Big difference between being poor and not rich. If you're middle class, then you're just fine. I do agree with him. Of course, there are edge cases such as disabilities,natural disasters, and other bad luck/dangers etc...
