              This is ironically a poor sales pitch, unless you believe that networking, marketing, and familial wealth should be what orders society.

              And I never said that 250k was all they had, and in fact being able to throw that much money at something is going to be less and less of a concern the more money you have, though I don't think his family was "poor as hell" to start with. Unfortunately for this point, their finances at the time are not publicized that I can find.

                  It’s all part of how society works.

                  I said should, not does.

                  But he didn’t steal profits.

                  Back then, he used a considerable amount of money to run at a loss. Nowadays, he does steal a remarkable level of profits in the unpaid wages of the employees who keep winding up in the news for being forced to piss in bottles or drive to work in a hurricane.

          He started out with a small loan of $250,000 from his parents, in 90s $s if memory serves.

          You're just a bootlicker aren't you? Lazy workers could be billionaires if they just tried

          Where do they get the business owner who wants to do that? Can it happen? Sure, it has. But thats not going to happen for most bussiness operation in capitalist countries. Can workers get the money to buy out their owners? Sure. But that's not super likely in most situations either.
