The wealth ceiling for ordinary people working is 2 million in their lifetime. Let's do the math: if a person graduates at 22 and retires at 60, they only have 38 years to work and earn money, right? 38 years is a total of 14,000 days. You get married, have kids, date, go shopping, travel, and get sick, leaving you with only 10,000 days. If you earn 1,000 a day, your wealth ceiling is 10 million.
The reality is that for many people doing ordinary jobs, your daily income is only 200 yuan, which means your lifetime ceiling is 2 million. And this 2 million is in an ideal state where you don't get sick, don't lose your job, and don't spend money. You can't eat; only then can you earn 2 million.
So much of poverty is designed. When you do food delivery, how long does it take you to pick up and deliver an order? You get only a few yuan. You run from 6 AM to 12 AM, and your daily wage ceiling is predetermined. When you drive for Didi, you may get many orders in the morning but fewer in the afternoon; your ceiling is already calculated. Working in a factory, tightening screws is also predetermined. If you do this job and don't have a survival advantage, you simply won't make any money because the distribution mechanism of this society is designed to keep you from being full, unable to run, and not starving to death, and then you keep working.
