I noticed that he did not complain about the minimum wage being too little to feed a family on when he was young and in the process of learning to work in the real world.
I noticed that he emphasized this about small-business makers and future tycoons:
"What sets me apart, I think, is a tolerance for risk and an intuition about what will happen in the future."
I remember small business starters being told "they didn't build that", as if they had risked nothing of what they had earned and saved and invested wisely.
I'd add that there is a lot of "effort inequality" and "inequality of taking advantage of public education opportunities" today. There really is little or no excuse for people who drop out of high school or for those who do not pursue even a one-year associate's degree in a trade/technologist field.
