So “you were born somewhere ‘unlucky’, that’s how it goes, sucks to be you”.

Is that really your take?

It's a distasteful take to be sure. But, what is GP supposed to do?

Frankly I'd rather be told that than the other common but tired SV-resident take of "just hustle, bro, stop sleeping, hustle hustle hustle. Learn to code, take loans from friends and family. Doesn't matter that you're born in a shithole, I was born in a median family myself, we only had one car and we rented our house!!! Just gotta work for it, everybody can achieve it. Those who don't, are clearly not working hard enough."
