Jeff Bezos had his parents give him $250,000 back in 1995. Bill Gates’ father was a partner in a law firm and his grandfather was a businessman. Warren Buffett’s dad was an investor and US Congressman.

If you aren’t already born into the upper class you have to be exceptionally lucky and talented to get holodeck replicator rich.

Also the parents at Bill Gate's school bought the class a computer so they could learn to program.

In 1968

Also FIRE people are loving hilarious, because they've correctly identified a load of genuine problems (needless consumption, the pointless busywork of most jobs etc etc) but have decided to game the system instead of organising to fix it. It's like entirely self-centred leftism.
