My kids assume they will never own their own home. They had their education trashed by covid. It is hard to be ambitious when you see success as impossible.

Covid revealed good schools and bad schools. But it also made plain parents who valued education and parents who didn't.

Shaming people for being losers is not a good way to enroll them again onto a path to success. It actually causes murders, if you count the incels that are shamed until they commit a mass murder to have their suffering heard.

I’m an ambitious guy with lots of success and I work day and night. But I’d never reckon bravery in someone who’s working day and night, they have it easy, since they ecosystem is answering positively to more work from their side. So I just had to bring in the work. Oppositely, when the economy pulls of down by your bootstraps, it takes real courage to be ambitious.
