Got it, downvotes are random from stupid people who don't read I guess. Except that time it was "just me" then it went back to the others, too, again.
Instead of arguing that you disagreed, I offered a suggestion of why (now 22 people) thought you were being dismissive or apologist or otherwise didn't like your comment (unless they're all just stupid and can't read).
And replying to your thought on "plenty of entrepreneurs" is a strawman? You brought it up. I was talking about getting money from family. The ones who had college paid for and got family loans and pretend to be self made. Then you brought up bank loans and entrepreneurs. So I did what you said and continued the thread. Websites like to make lists of handfuls of people who didn't do it with connections.
