Luck

I guess one of the biggest lessons I've learned is this: it's not enough to work hard, you have work smart. Strategically. With focus. A good example, my mom worked a lot harder pumping gas  than she did reviewing files, but guess which job had benefits and paid well.

My mom, however, didn't exactly have the same choices as the heir to a frozen food empire. I think Carlson is smart enough to know this -- if he wanted to. She had some luck and benefited from government policies.

Plus, how many people worked on infrastructure in this country and did not get rich. What privilige did they get? White Privilige seems to me ike the consequence of being born to the investor class as much as anything else.
