Exactly. And let’s not forget that the rich have stronger class solidarity. Bezos got a lot more than a $300k loan; he got the experience of a wealthy education which is primarily for the networking. He got access to his parents’ network as well.

See also Bill Gates, who, in a bout of nepotism, used his mommy’s rich connections with IBM to secure Microsoft. People don’t understand that Microsoft made nothing of actual worth in their early days. They were middlemen, buying DOS from someone else and claiming it as their own.

Like, oh, Tesla.
