Jessica, thank you so much for spelling out the false myths about success America continues to espouse! It's why the ultra-rich are the idols of society. These infernal success myths are why many people, deep down, equate folks having great wealth with them being more moral, more intelligent, and having integrity. It's why Bezos can take a joyride into space made possible by ill-treated and underpaid Amazon warehouse and fulfillment center employess - and the world cheers him on. It's all so delusional and a disgrace.
