The underlying theme of that op-ed decrying Robert Smith's Morehouse gift. Longstanding opposition towards, and offense of, the mere idea of Slavery Reparations--not including tomorrow's mostly meaningless Juneteenth House Hearing. The tinyhouse movement. Donald Trump's self purported life story. The glut of articles about 'self-made' millennial millionaires. All seem to share a common theme where people who achieved financial success all explicitly attribute one broad force, individual financial responsibility. While on the other hand, anyone else who hasn't can only blame themselves for their own moral failings for remaining poor or underemployed.
