No. I am purple pilled. There are tens of millions of people born unlucky, lost ovarian lottery, system stacked against them––and they need + morally deserve help. It would be great if private donors + scholarships + foundations could do it all but they can’t and don’t. I came from nothing. Single mom, school teacher, union member, we lived with her parents (retired meter maid parking meter attendant grandma + night shift NY Daily News delivery truck driver grandpa). Public school + then later scholarships helped but so did healthcare + union support for my mom and me I also believe in the full expression of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, risk taking, rewarding those who solve problems and get rich (or lose it all) and the free flow of capital to solve ‘what sucks’ in pursuit of self-interest. In greed and avarice lies the hope of progress as my old friend Jim Surowiecki said and progress reduces human suffering. Powerful people should pull up others not punch down. Nor mistake their own measures of good luck for pure skill. I abhor the far left and far right who per horsehoe theory (well known but well articulated in a great video i reposted recently by @DanielLubetzky) are fueled on unproductive zero-sum hate not positive-sum high expectation compassion Not everyone in a victim class is a victim. Not everyone in the 1% is deserving. Life is unfair in distributions of health and wealth and looks and ability. Zip code your born or raised in determines your future health and wealth more than most other variables. Social + economic upward mobility is far less than it ought be, but also far more than people see. I’m living proof. No rich family, no inheritance, broken home, parents that despised eachother and i ended up a pawn. I was lucky to have a doting mother who sacrificed her life in many ways for mine (and i didnt appreciate it enough until i had my own kids—exactly as she had told me;) I’m happy with a TON of people in new Trump admin. They will do amazing things for our country. I wouldnt want my kids to ever be like him or look up to him. I also deeply respect a TON of people in the Biden admin, and unwaveringly love our military and veterans who have sacrificed and lost more than 90% of the country will ever know or experience. So color me PURPLE
