and I am not. He sez stuff much mo betta:

Okay, seriously now: Why is your protest doomed to fail? Because you’re not too bright, not too dedicated, have no coherent position, and are shallow and lazy, as well as enjoying a standard of living that 99% (See what I did there?) of the people on Earth can only dream about. You can’t pay your student loans? That mother of 8 in Bangladesh totally sympathizes. You have a car, but it’s tough to make payments on time? That guy in Zimbabwe with the wheeled cart feels your pain. You had to work overtime? The Egyptian contractors we had overseas understand. If they’d had overtime on top of their 72 hour workweeks, they’d have been sad.

Your attitude, intellect, self-chosen education or lack of same, self-created debt and lack of determination won’t get you a job as a CEO. It might not get you a job as anything.
