@shuttersparks @MnemosyneSinger Very much yes. I drove Route 66, and much of the US is completely soaking in national mythology, including the idea that the rich got rich by doing the right things. Even my family in Florida can't shake this; they ran a veterinary clinic and see people like Bezos and Musk as people who took their personal high risk entrepreneurship and just "did it harder". I come home with tales of the corruption of Silicon Valley and they just ignore me.
