Multigenerational wealth controls the planet.

The only true "Privilege" one can be born with, however it still is no match for the simple privilege of being born into a stable 2 parent family in the USA. Too bad most who bitch about lack of privilege don't recognize that if you 1) Live in the USA , 2) Finish High School and 3) Don't have kids out of wedlock , you are all but guaranteed to improve your socioeconomic standing 1 or 2 positions per generation. Generational wealth is the short cut to education and potential stability, but I can tell you I have more "Trust Fund Baby" friends than many and all but one of them come from EXTREMELY fucked up families. Wealth is important but not as much as education and a stable family structure

Moving up “1 or 2 standings” it’s possible, but what’s impossible is moving to Tier 1 Elite status. That is only possible with multigenerational wealth, the connections it brings, and access to Tier 1 schools, social clubs, and Tier 1 jobs.

Tier 1 is completely unbound by laws and only shares investment opportunities with one another.

Tier 1 families are build over many generations, or if in a single generation they may have the $, but won't have the influence. The trick is getting your kids into school with the Tier 1 kids so the next Gen can ring knock. Shit takes time and generational commitment....without a solid family that ain't gonna happen!
