No amount of LinkedEn speech can fix the poor part of it. In 2025, it's abundantly clear that the mask is off. Only the whales matter in video games. Only the top donors matter in donation funding. Modern laptops with GPUs are all $2k+ dollars machines. Luxury condos are everywhere. McDonalds revenues and profits are up despite pricing out a lot of low income people. The poor have less of the nothing they already have. You can make a hundred affordable cars or get as much, if not order of magnitudes more, profit with just one luxury vehicle sale.

You have no idea if they’re ambitious or educated. Absolutely no idea. Is it just commonplace to inject “facts” into conjecture? Comes off as desperate.
