> If you work hard you will likely be able to buy a ticket to visit the moon, something only a few humans have ever done.

I’d be surprised if more than another couple dozen people make it to the moon in the next generation. Maybe more but certainly almost no one (statistically speaking) will be able to visit the moon by just working hard.

However, I don’t take issue with the rest of your optimism.

Or, "if you work really really hard, you might be able to buy lunch".

Visit the moon, don't make me laugh.

I don't know if you're being intentionally naive or disingenuous.

The world is not a meritocracy nor has it ever been. This take is absolutely delusional. It doesn't matter how cheap or easy anything is if people make less and have next to no time off which is most people.
