I apologize. Every time I try to have a conversation on this topic it ends with claims that the only think holding everyone back is their lack of privilege. I thought you were being sarcastic.

What irks me is not that people believe that drivel, but that it holds them back. It's not just an excuse, it's a demoralizing, defeating barrier to improvement. If not for being stopped dead in their tracks many of these people would take the time to dream about owning a buisness. Over time they would develop ideas, explore buisness practices, learn about the details and difficulties. They would learn to respect entrepreneurs instead of enving and despising them. And some of them would actually be prepared when they get the opportunity to find their nich.

111% agree. And to add to what you're saying... even if they don't start their own "business", just understanding that even as an employee they are in effect a "business" selling their time, knowledge and services, which will go miles and miles to helping them understand how they can search for and achieve their goals even within the normal job market. I mean, a job is just another word for a client contract. But far too many insist on thinking of themselves only as victims and give up without even trying. It is quite sad.
