Most people whos parents 'set them up on the right platform' don't directly go down pre-measured plans their parents made, like taking on the family business. It's usually more fluid and indirect, like bein able to contact a family friend who can put in a good word on a job you wanna get, or getting the right reference you need for a college admission. Or, a big one: access to a mentor in the path u wanna go down.
Most of it relies on tapping into networks. Even with parents who aren't hustling, they might not have access to profitable social networks off the bat like that. U can set them up to achieve greatness, give them tools like education n training, but that doesn't guarantee that they won't be starting from the ground up. Social mobility isn't a straight forward pursuit.
ideally. can/will every parent put aside however many tens or hundreds of thousands are needed, prior to conception, for their child to achieve their dreams? unrealistic, as much as i would like it to be true.
Poor people r gonna have kids fam.
Upset? Idk. My emotional reaction is yes but again, being realistic, that wld be like blaming a poor person for being poor instead of being mad @ the cause of poverty. Frustration with the symptoms instead of the cause.
unless the poverty is news to the kid, I'd imagine they wldn't be anticipating an inheritance in most cases. it's likely that they're aware they are poor.
again, poor ppl r gonna have kids.
Spinoff question: shld society/the government/public institutions then provide the opportunities for kids from disadvantaged households?
