    “I built this company by myself, from the ground up, my own blood sweat and tears, no help from anyone, and a $20 million dollar gift from my daddy”

      If only any of them even got a million.

      I mean $200000 vs $20000000, not a big difference.

        How much did you get from your dad? I know my dad has nothing to give me, mainly because of those guys that were able to get a hand out pulling the ladder up behind them.

        In this country even being sent to college is a privilege, you are either gifted it from your parents or you are an indentured servant for your student loans/tuition. A handout from your parents is a handout from your parents, no matter the amount.

        It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone needs help every now and then. Just don’t label yourself “selfmade” when you are not.

          My dad left me with PTSD and a mother solely reliant on social security!

          Yeah, anyone who claims to be self-made is just showing a lack of perspective. I got an inheritance from my grandparents and college tuition from my parents, but that’s really a rounding error. I was raised in a supportive home where my physical, emotional, and academic needs were met. My extended family is about as drama free as they come. I’m tall and usually well liked, so I wasn’t picked on at school. When I came out as gay, my parents were supportive. I had access to a computer as a kid, where I developed a knack for programming that developed into a career. Point is, there are so many boosts or drags that a person can experience in their life, even look purely at money is too simplistic.

          Did any of those guys get 20M? Y’all have issues with factual reality.

            Trump said the line about getting a small loan of a million dollars from his father. He did not mention the later loans of larger sums or his eventual inheritance.

            Nitpicking an obvious joke based on a real tone deaf comment from the wealthy is a terrible look.

              Is Trump mentioned here? Is 1M now 20M? Reality is a tough concept for many of you.

        200k in 1975 is worth about 1.2M today

          I’m so very, VERY sorry for pointing out that none of these guys weren’t given anywhere as close as commented on. I guess pointing out facts is bad these days. Wild.

            I’ll make sure to put “WARNING, THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE” next time, for those of us that have a hard time telling the difference.

              It’s clearly not. Have you seen the hate this has generated? It’s an entire cult 🤣.

                Generated by you, taking offense to me “over exaggerating” and not being “based in reality”, taking a joke way too seriously. Chill out bro.

                  Yes. People don’t like being called out for making shit up. It’s okay when your do it, but if the right does it it gets posted to the sub 🤦‍♂️.

                    Letting shit up? What does that mean?

                    Do you understand the definition of “joke”? At this point, I’m writing you off as a pissed off little troll, poking the bear to get swiped at.

                    So everything else above you agree with other than the 20 million dollars is equal to 2 million dollars?

                    Great 👍

            You might even be right, but it’s clear you’ve got an agenda, and that’s what I’m commenting on. It’s very obvious
