Sorry but I hate this. The implication that you have to work hard to deserve "amazing things". I'm waiting for a tram at 7am on the weekend, about to do a 12 hour day, what amazing thing do I get to make up for the fact I'm not still in bed? The idea that joy must be earned pisses me right off.
Hard agree.
So, the kids of billionaires worked really hard to get such amazing toys? Yeah, right.
That guy has such a knack for calling out future issues... Havard grad I heard. RIP Conan
That kind of reasoning also implies the opposite - that anyone who doesn't have amazing things happen to them somehow didn't work hard enough, or for some other reason doesn't deserve it - and that's just not true. The world isn't fair.
It's a fallacy the rich have instilled into the culture. It was true once. But much was given to corporations & rich business owners. European & other countries have good economies. Many have strong unions, higher pay, several weeks of annual leave, sick leave & compulsory payments to worker super.
