    Only in the most technical of technical senses. Much like “there’s nothing stopping someone who’s born poor from becoming a millionaire”. Legally? No. Practically? Yes, there’s so freakin many barriers to such a thing happening, it’s almost statistically impossible. It’s so rare that when it happens it makes national headlines.

      Not really I grew up poor and I’m a millionaire. It’s not that hard of a bar to cross.

      I think you should google how many millionaires there are in America. That number would shock you.

        Ok now I know you’re a troll. And a liar.

        Poor people who became millionaires exist, but they’re a rounding error. I don’t think you’re one of them, though I bet you tell yourself that. Having daddy pay for your tuition or whatever is just conveniently left out.

        Actually, I bet you’re not even a millionaire.

        Whatever it is, the point is that what you’re claiming is so statistically rare, I don’t believe you. And then you’re also claiming it’s common.

        Ergo, troll.

        I’m done talking with you.

          Over 6% of the population. That’s from 2019. I suspect that number is even higher now.
