Many of us had to ride the bus, walk, ride a bike in freezing weather etc to get where we needed to be. Many of us don't anymore.
I had a boyfriend in England. He was from Belfast and when he was a boy, his family moved to England.
They didn't own a car and their house had no indoor bathroom. We spent a lot of time at bus stops, in the freezing weather...or walking miles to save fare. He had a 9th grade education.
When he was 20 yrs old, he and his dad saved up and bought an old car. That was 40 years ago. Now he has a collection of cars..including a Bentley and a Aston Martin. Homes in different countries. He worked hard, built up a business the old fashioned way. People love to work at his company. He's well respected and very rich.
You are wrong in the above quote.
