Ah yes, after all a lottery winner will advise everyone around them to play lottery - clearly it works, they are the best example.
Once again, you are refusing to acknowledge that the word "typical" is not appropriate here. Even in your example it's not typical for American people to achieve that American dream, as America is absolutely awful on the social mobility scale.
Edit: also it's really classy you are just deleting your replies to my comments instead of actually engaging in a discussion. Your choice I suppose.

- t-writescode 5y agoBlue collar workers are some of the hardest working people I know. Some of them make as much as 40k per year. Yes, I said "as much". You really, really need to check yourself. You have no idea how good you have it.
- selestify 5y agoOh I know I have it good. 1% in terms of income. And I come from a really unprivileged background. Uneducated parents, family on welfare. Shit man, we were so poor, I got into college for free based on needs.
- t-writescode 5y agoThen check yourself and your privileged "everyone gets a 200k offer unless they're stupid and lazy" statements.

- sangnoir 5y agoWere your parents - I'm quoting you here - "dumb and lazy"? Since they didn't pull themselves bup by the bootstraps like you did, and yet they allegedly had the same opportunities as you.
- selestify 5y agoThey did actually, work their way up from where they started. And eventually got to immigrate to America, where opportunities are much better and their kids could thrive. It’s the stereotypical thing where immigrants to this country are much more hardworking and appreciative of the opportunities they have here compared to their home country, versus the native population who doesn’t appreciate just how good they have it in America. I wouldn’t be surprised if my kids turn out that way — it’s just how it is.
- gambiting 5y agoHahahah, ok dude, if that lets you sleep well at night then sure. One thing is for sure - that your belief is unfortunately pretty typical.
- selestify 5y agoThanks, I do sleep like a baby.
