Goddamn it. I thought this would be an article about actual strapping it on. Ahem.

Just kidding (not really) It’s a great topic and i’m glad we’re talking about this. As a second generation American I hear the bootstrap argument a lot, by people raised in such a different culture, with a lot of different struggles and opportunities than we have. It’s a complex issue, privilege, and not one that’s easy to talk/write about.
