I will politely disagree with this assertion that Rags to Riches stories aren't resonating anymore. They always will. It's part of the big lie (not trump's big lie, but a much bigger one) that the everyman (woman, person) can achieve something much higher and better for themselves. Unfortunately, that's not what the Amazons and Googles and Wall Street investors want. They want you to essentially be like The Matrix. Just another battery in the corporate power grid that keeps the economy humming. Make just enough money to keep buying crap, but not enough to have any real power. I'm going to leave you with a quote from 1984: ‘He is a slave with a semblance of liberty which is worse than the most cruel slavery.’
