Yeah that's where I was kinda going with my comment.
They don't think of themselves as labour because they are just temp poor while they become next bezos or gates. Idiots forgot that neither was coder but they sure were dudes from affluent families with access to capital and knwoldge base from elite networks.
But hey as long as they keep grinding 100h the system work as intended. Wage slaves are like the crabs in that bucket.
Most I think want to be the next Wozniak or Paul Allen, do the coding while someone else handles the business side.
Your point still stands though in that those two got in on the ground floor of something new and weren't just wage slaves grinding away.
I have conservative minded friends that have such a hard time grasping that they all need to work to survive and are thus Labor and not Capital. They think having an emergency fund and discretionary spending makes them a step above
well it does for 3-6 month until it runs out 🤡
