No matter how much you insist we live in a merit based society, we do not. Again. This is still true, the most accurate way to determine your income as an adult is your parents zip code when you're born. That's not merit. That stagnation. That's the reality we live in. Don't agree with me? Talk to the several successful people who will tell you, they got where they are either because their parents had connections, or they got Lucky and after getting lucky they happened to also be skilled. But the luck is still what got them there. It doesn't matter how good you are. If you aren't someone's friend or cousin, it's not happening 99% of the time.

Talk to the several successful people

Hello, I earn more than apparently 99% of Lemmy

they got where they are either because their parents had connections

Nope

or they got Lucky

Nope

I made my own luck, by studying damn hard, putting in a shitload of effort and working my way up from dropping out of high school to being in an incredible job.

But thanks for reducing the thousands of hours I put into my job and education to 'luck' or 'has parents'.

I now interview people, if you show up with skills and effort you can make a lot of money very easily but a lot of people don't even show up with effort.

If you aren’t someone’s friend or cousin, it’s not happening 99% of the time.

You need to step out of the echo chamber or whatever cope cage you've built yourself, this is a complete joke and honestly I'm not going to reply to anymore because I can't tell if you're trolling or not this is such a stupid opinion.
