HN seems to think most of the world is a meritocracy. The reality is that a dumb rich kid is much more likely to get into a good university than a poor brilliant one. There is a "glass floor": https://www.theguardian.co

$180k is not "working class," period. I don't make $180k and I live in Seattle working in a tech-adjacent field. You claiming that it is is like saying a 14 year old is almost 15 which is almost legal driving age and basicall

No, it's not. What's your comparison? Are there birds that can carry 80,000 lb of passenger + cargo weight? Condors fly like fixed-wing aircraft for 99% of their flight, hummingbirds fly more like insects. There isn't one typ
