Huh, I've never met a Facebook or Google employee. I never realized how few opportunities I have in life.

It was more symbolic of how disconnected these people are from the general economy. If you go to rural America, many of these people are very disconnected from the general growth and mindset the cities have. I didn't know that Google and Facebook were companies until i was 21, which was in 2011.

It's lack of visibility into the thriving economy America has.
