Even if I’m losing the economic war you might say, I’m winning the public opinion war. Most people reluctantly agree that America isn’t a merit system and ass kissers get ahead instead of the most talented people (particularly in corporate bureaucracies) when I press them on it.
Very few people have the nerve to respond to me saying “no, actually it’s your own fault. The door was always open you just refused to walk in it.” Those days are over, where mainly baby boomers had the audacity to say that.
