    Generational wealth is a huge cancer on the system that isn’t talked about enough. You can’t fix wealth inequality with nepo-babies running around.

      I’m not going to pretend I didn’t get an inheritance when my dad died. I got a little run down house in a farm town and the balance of a workers comp settlement. There’s a big difference between that and people inheriting enough that they never have to work a day in their lives.

        No it isn’t the same, but it is something. I’d sleep a lot better knowing I at least had a run down farmhouse on the way instead of working until I die to pay the rent.
