Reply to We're assured that qualifications are essential, but none of the very richest people got their wealth from theirs by pufballcat
That's not very true.
While the wealthiest people may have gotten help at the beginning with a loan or something, they most certainly did something with it and needed the qualifications to do it.

The percentage is based on the wrong item. It needs to be based on the universe, not the person.
For instance, say the universe is 100,000 sq feet (obviously not, but just easier math). The difference between a 5 foot person's volume and a 6 foot person's volume is, let's say, 1 sq foot nice and tidy.
The percentage difference is not the difference between 5 sq feet and 6 sq feet, it's the difference of 1 sq foot our of 100,000. So the universe (in this argument using fictitious numbers) would be 0.001% smaller to the 6 foot person.

You should go there. It isn't a gross generalization.
Based on cultural pressure, lack of public support after birth, and general financial status of the population, it is statistically rare that a known case of down's syndrome is carried ot term in the country of China.

No way! Just about the death.

I think a co-worker died this way while out of town visiting one of our other plants. No one has said for sure, but context clues lead me to believe that the other co-worker that found him (after hotel secruity did a well check when he didn't meet up in the morning) discovered he may have been watching porn.
No asphyxiation or wrapped genitals or anything. Just laying in bed doing good old missionary wanking to a video and had a heart attack.
His reluctantly-estranged-but-not-yet-divorced wife worked under me at the same company and I had to tell her. That is something I will never forget.

The empty weight plus fuel weight of the most common domestic jets represent 75-85% of the weight at takeoff. The variance in weight of a few humans will not have a great impact on the overall weight.

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this was the case.
Yes, shitting in the birthing position is almost universal. So how did your shower thought come to be?
Wait, did you shit in the shower???

Opportunities still need to be converted. And in many cases, the opportunity had little to do with the success. Zuckerberg is a good example of that. I would say Gates, as well.
They might have been well off just on status, but they are billionaires because of what THEY did.
