    Yeah. That’s exactly it. People who have never broken in work boots, don’t get why a bare wood handle shovel is a war crime, or how long it takes a burst blister to heal. Hard work pays off? No ma’am, generational wealth pays off. People who ‘‘made it’’ to home base who were born on third really do think THEY did it all, and there must be something wrong with you if you can’t pull money out of your trust fund to ‘knuckle down’ in their aunt’s condo for a few years and do an unpaid internship. Couldn’t buy new shoes that whole time!
