12/ It's still possible. Folks just don't want to make the sacrifices. Your grand dad worked long hours at a hard job. Become a plumber, or a garbage man. Buy a house 90 minutes outside the cool places. Where I live 3 bedrooms cost ~ $200k. Done.https://twitter.com/BlackLodgeAgent/status/1108825846079459333 …

14/ You just made up some words and pretended I said them. I did not. My actual words are these: if you want better results, complain less and work harder. Worked for me. It'll work for you too.https://twitter.com/Preussenritter/status/1108826216352628736 …

15/ Yeah, I'm going to have to go with the awards committee that named it "best novel of the year" over <checks notes> some rando who never read it. https://twitter.com/glahnnnn/status/1108826862803914757 …

17/ me: "hard work has benefits" you: "your book sucks" me: "people say it's good" you: "haha you're not rich and/or you are rich and paid off the judges" Who do you think you're convincing? I've got a farm, a hot wife, a good life. Bc I work hard. https://twitter.com/glahnnnn/status/1108828374787592203 …

18/ So go get a job as a garbageman and live 90 minutes outside the city. Job pays $50k - 100k/yr, and houses cost $200k. What's stopping you ... other than your own aversion to hard work? https://twitter.com/friscoslab/status/1108829694193995776 …

19/ Already did, on 1 Jan. Down 40 pounds so far. So today I'm just hard working, married, successful in two different careers, and competent. ...but in a a year or so I'll be trim too. https://twitter.com/terrorhousemag/status/11088299496019476481 …

20/ "get your story straight" I haven't changed my position at all. "garbageman doesn't pay well" Burea of Labor Statistics stats say otherwise.https://twitter.com/BlackLodgeAgent/status/1108830623651766277 …

21/ It's quite impressive how people who won't lift a finger to better their lot in life have a TON of energy when it comes to defending the thesis that their failure is someone else's fault.

27/ I have read the whole thread. I'm the one who started it and I've been CC-ed the whole time. I'm sorry your dad and all his siblings failed to save for retirement. I guess the Jews and the globalists are to blame for that somehow? Terrible! https://twitter.com/friscoslab/status/1108832178887102470 …

30/ I don't think that 100% of people who succeed do so by hard work. I don't think 100% of people who fail do so because of laziness. But it is ALWAYS the case that, given a set of circumstances, hard work does better than laziness.

34/ Yeah, the SJW globhomo thing sucks. But read up ; I never said "everything is absolutely perfect". I'm merely disagreeing with the hard line fatalist "everything is terrible and hard work doesn't matter".https://twitter.com/dpinsen/status/1108834588594442266 …

38/ Nothing I've said above speaks to this - I'm arguing AGAINST "it's impossible to do well", NOT in favor of "it's exactly as easy to do well now as in 1950". https://twitter.com/EmperorCoolidge/status/1108843453155282970 …

39/ The problem with intertemporal comparisons is that EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. In 1950, there was a big central hump inthe bell curve. In 2019, there's not. In 1950 college cost X ... but wasn't necessary. In 2019 it costs 10 x ... but still isn't really necessary.

40/ In 1950 it was almost impossible to set up your own publishing / programming / whatever business. In 2019 it's trivial. So I'm suspicious of "it was easier then", and ALSO of "it was harder then" For who? With what assumptions? Let's agree on this: it was DIFFERENT then
