My business is B2B, so I only work with business owners. They comes in all shapes and sizes, and yes, some of them aren't the sharpest. But they all make it work whatever it takes. Willing to step up when others are tired, etc.

That's what separates the boys from the men.
Success in business usually also means a lack of empathy. A sociopathic lack of empathy.

Well you'll need empathy for your customers and your team or you won't be too successful.

Btw the biggest influence in success in life isn’t your race or even your class, it’s actually your IQ
No it's your class

Saudi prince still most successful person on earth and he buys paintings for 500 million dollars, nobody who does that is smart.

Dude will STILL make 250 million on that purchase.

I sort of agree

It’s more like class + situation

If you have a stupid person who inherits a lot of wealth (but probably less than your Saudi prince example), but doesn’t have other family or whoever to keep them in line, they are probably going to blow that money on stupid shit and end up broke

But a rich dumb person can be somewhat insulated from their own bad decisions by a solid support system

Well, lucky for the GOP, both the Democrats & the GOP want to send all that $ to the weapons manufacturers instead.

Don't all areas get the same education funding?
