> I sometimes wonder if people on HN even know what privilege is or how they sound to the entire rest of the world. You think it's typical that people making $7/hr just happen to land a job at Google?

In general, discounting what’s beneficial to people, by labeling it as “privilege” is only a disadvantage to the non-elites. The elites will continue to do just fine.

If not having a boss, living a certain kind of life is advantageous, we should do what we can do go for that. If our means don’t allow for it, let’s work towards it.

(This comes from an immigrant without a degree, who got one of those great jobs, and now works without a boss. For now at least.)
