> Do you really need someone to explain to you how being a funded startup founder is different than being an hourly worker on tipped wage at upscale restaurant? All I am saying is that person is not a 1% and not even close. She has every rights to contrast herself from them. > Is that a serious, genuine question or are you just trying to deflect criticism with a bad-faith take? I worded it as a question to soften it and leave the door opened to criticism. But if your stance is that those people are entitled or fake poor or hypocrites and deserved to be laughed at, frankly.. oh well, whatever.
