I wonder how she got the time to put down the burger and give a quick interview.

No, the people who are upset over this are the people who try hard and still get fucking nowhere.

1) Can we stop discussing the etymology and deep meaning of the word "cunt" in this thread? It's only peripherally relevant.

2) Dear god, that is just awful. To earn an enormous amount of money from inheritance and go on to slam people who have been forced to work hard for everything they have is just awful. There's a lot more than hard work involved in being a billionaire - contacts, an idea, good luck. Of course, she didn't need the second or third, and had plenty of the first from her parents.

Besides, not everybody wants to be, should be or even CAN be extremely wealthy. You do need people to do all of the sub-seven-figure-salary jobs, but then I doubt she's met anybody who fits that description.

she pays for getting laid

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." - I think Argh_College said that

while i applaud your story - it's still not typical.  want to go to college in the US?  it'll cost you tens of thousands of dollars.  Want tens of thousands of dollars for college?  you'd better have money in order to be able to get that loan.

so let me counter by telling you my story.  i was born into money.  i was never homeless.  i didn't have to put that much effort into school, my school was fantastic and had all sort of AP classes and really awesome teachers.  i didn't have to work to pay for my college education and i went to an expensive top 10 school.  i did party, and drink, and smoke however.    ..and yet despite not putting even half the effort you described above: i've also go my masters and a 100k job.

don't get me wrong, i'm grateful to the advantages bestowed upon me by the luck of my birth.  it's not fair though.

She makes some valid points. Whether it's popular to say or not, the minimum wage continually being increased does lead to higher unemployment. I mean that's not a difficult conclusion to draw at all. If companies are forced to pay $7.50/hr instead of $5, they're either going to lay people off, raise prices, or both. Usually both.

So, and I'm not saying it's a living wage... but just factually speaking, it is a fact that there would be virtually no unemployment if there weren't a minimum wage.

And people with lots of money who own businesses that in turn employ people make up more than 90% of the economy, so anything that helps those companies stay in business here in the U.S. is a good thing.

Let us lower minimum wage so the poor will have to work twice as hard for the same amount of money!  Sounds just about right for this fucked up human world.

That line from Yoda always bothered me. Trying is more important than success or failure. Success without trying is less meritorious than trying and failing, because the effort ethic is worth more to society in the long run.

i live in canada, so health care isnt much of a concern.   and if they didnt spend hundreds of dollars on garbage they would be able to afford it when things broke down(or maybe they could use that money on their children and take care of the ones they have rather than just continuing to have more so they can get more money off the government to feed their habits while ignoring their children)
