I'd hardly call a 30 year professional career in various fields and collars as "survivor bias." The network of people I've been exposed to over that period of time alone puts a hole in that argument. Tossing out that term to try and justify a terribly flawed argument is as silly as the unsubstantiated statistic provided as emotional evidence.

N=1 anekdote doesn’t count. Personal experience doesn’t count large population stats count and it’s not looking good for large swats of people.

But I have it good so the system works! Yea sure, it’s really anout you. The selfishness, the lack of care for others is so ingrained.

If the majority of your country is dirt poor and has to work multiple jobs the system clearly doesn’t work.

Congratulations, Comrade. By your own logic, your original post must then be dismissed. Glory to the Soviet Science!

Can you point out specifically how I contradict my own post, bet you can’t. And the Soviet Union is not my role model.
