Upward mobility is sold but rarely achievable.
America is a free country, the country and indeed the world is what you make of it. Nobody ever said living free was easy.
There are a great number of studies completing that show that opportunities for upward mobility simply are no longer there for the vast majority.
David Willets summarized and touched on studies done by the Resolution Foundation, and wrote a book on the subject matter extensively, "The Pinch, How the Baby Boomers Stole their children's future".
There's a big difference between living hand to mouth as an individual wage slave, and making enough to be able to support having children, let alone the gross excess of the Zuckerbergs or globalists of the world.
An ambitious man isn't going to care what some "studies" say about how bad and sad and evil the world is. He's just going to do what needs doing and enjoy the fruits of his labors.
You're never going to succeed if you let others' negativity beat you into submission. You're literally in the company of people who create and invest in startups. Who cares what bad things others are saying, it's your life.
There are points of no return in systems, after which cascading problems prevent any future resolution.
