Reality check: you don't make boatloads of money for having useful skills everyone has (or should have). You make boat loads of money when you have useful skills that few people have.

Reality Check: You make, or don't, make boatloads on money based on your social skills, and your status at birth.

You can literally map zip codes at birth to salary.

The useful skill of being born rich so you could go to an Ivy League School.

I just assumed it was some new refugee who landed on the flagship but nope, two year old account that's been dodging .ml State Security somehow

Or just be born into a rich family. Not sure that counts as a skill really.

Been born into a rich family and then murdering your way to your inheritance without getting caught, now that's a skill.

So you believe we live in a meritocracy? I find that staggering at this point.

The useful skill of being able to sack hundreds of people to make a few dollars for shareholders and still be able to sleep at night.

Or, in simpler terms, a lack of empathy.
