Don't have time, don't have the inclination to read all this. This is the truth about the United States.
This is the land of opportunity. That is undeniable. For every excuse you can find to justify your failures, there is, if you looked hard enough, a story of somebody that overcame the same obstacle. It is all there for you if you can focus on what you want and go get it.
If you "go to school and get a good job" you are a fucking sucker and deserve whatever happens to you. And shit will happen to you if you go 100 thousand in debt to get a degree in a field you will never work in. Schools are designed to teach you to be a loser. Surround yourself with people that have fruit on the tree and do what they did.
If your grandparents, or parents, sacrificed and left everything behind to come here for opportunity and you have a job, you are a punk. If you live here and are not in control of your own financial destiny, you have betrayed your ancestors.
I was making 30k a month illegally and barely dodged federal prison. I was a legal millionaire at 35, homeless at 42, and I'll be a millionaire by 60. This is the land of opportunity and if you don't go out and get yours, then you will get got. Nobody has an obligation to look out for you. The lion eats the wildebeest and you can choose which one you want to be.
