Omg, yes! I don't understand how people don't realize this, relevant YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hncVNNabglc
What is there to realize? Look at the studies and data.

There will always be outliers who get ahead via nepotism, that's life. There are also many wealthy kids who end up squandering it all

Wait, can you please share these studies and data with me? I'm really tired of all my liberal friends telling me that just because someone grew up "without internet", that means there somehow unprivileged. Why don't parents just take them to the library, lol
