A comment on Cafeteria workers at Facebook struggle to make ends meet. Parent comment
"meritocracy" is a myth. Too many people forget that they started the 10-lap race with a 9-lap headstart.
I am personally very thankful for the headstart that my family gave me. Lots of others I grew up with didn't get the headstart.
...And it had nothing to do with me personally, it was an accident of lucky birth.
