another perspective, could support the idea that conservatives are delusional in their belief that everyone has roughly the same opportunities to succeed
For the most part, we do. That’s why so many people flock here from other countries. I grew up poor, I joined the national guard, paid for my undergraduate, graduate degree, they paid for most my medical school. Between the national guard and army, I came out owing next to nothing from college.
I went into technology and made even more money. I worked at a swat doctor to supplement my income.
The opportunities are there if you are willing to work hard and a reasonably intelligent.
Now yes the wealthy may have it easier but anyone can come wealthy if they just do something of value and expand on something.
Liberals want the government to hand them success. Conservatives want the chance to build their success
It was possible for grandparents to work at an ice cream shop and pay their way through college
Companies use to pay for college. I knew people who started at IBM after high school. The company thought they had potential and sent them to college. They paid for college, and I think half their salary.
In return they’re stay at IBM and become management or some other job that needed a degree.
I think that’s one of the largest changes I’ve seen
