> Breathing is privilege when compared to a corpse. If everything is privilege, then nothing is privilege.
Oh come off it. Are you really comparing being in the top 10% of earners in the US to breathing?
> some basic conditions
Such as earning enough after tax, rent and expenses to be able to afford to save up half a years living expenses in 2 years, and have a safety net to fall back on if it goes wrong. You’re missing two things here.
1) not everyone makes a six figure salary that enables them to save that kind of money in a short period of time.
2) not everyone has the safety net hat you have in the case that it fails.
If your venture fails and you’re out of work for a year, what will you do?
> are you the type of person that thinks only the “smart kids”...
No, stop trying to turn this around on me. I’m claiming your privilege is being a top earner with wealthy parents to fall back on. For the record, not everyone has what it takes to be a 4.0 GPA student, and if you think that “anyone can” just as long as they work hard, then you are wrong.
> it’s mostly Judy a lot of hard work, annoying reading and homework and not partying every night.
I don’t really know why you’re brjnfjng this up, but petting every night has very little to do with it compared to the other side of the equation - time. If you have time to do the hard work and the reading, do the extra curricular activities, that’s your privilege. You’re just as privileged as the people who choose to spend that time partying. Meanwhile in the real world, not everyone has the same circumstances, and you come across as incredibly patronising to assume that they do.
