      No it’s less than that, but I would trade college for years of experience for every one of them

      So what’s the actual %? And how many of those come from families that come from the left half of the income distribution?

      25% and 40% would be my guess

      Yeah I don’t take a survey of every employee to know what income background they grew up in

      I mean that’s fine. But your initial guess was off by 100% on educational attainment and even the revised guess shows that your hiring patterns don’t reflect your rhetoric.

      You’d think that if you were going to make grandiose statements with your balance sheet as proof you’d at least have a reasonable sense of what the numbers actually are.

          it doesn't show anything other than you're capable of pulling numbers out of your ass to back up a claim you also pulled out of your ass

          I’d bet a very large sum of money that his 25% estimate on people w/o higher education is grossly exaggerated. In economics we call this “revealed preference”.

          You’d think someone with “millions of dollars in the bank” who can “make anything happen” would actually hire the people he says he prefers to hire. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
