[Tycho]

The median household income for white families in the US is $60k. What parts of the article do you think describes activities not possible for the millions of families above that threshold?

The type of success that the author celebrated was things like raising healthy children, having them earn good degrees and start a good career, be financially independent, finding a spouse they deserve etc. Things which millions of parents surely feel is within reach, or even expected (but not guaranteed). It's not about raising an Olympic medalist. Trying to draw that equivalence is just an excuse to dismiss good advice/ideas.

I agree that the Olympics is an elitist sham.
