This is one of the best things I've read in a really long time.

"Well, I’ll tell you my point. It’s the last part of The Tragedy of the Lemonade Stands that is so dangerous. See, the kids developed a belief system around “success = hard work = deserving great things” and “failure = laziness = deserving shitty things.” And those heuristics work great in a society where there’s boundless opportunity, infinite resources, and constantly expanding markets.

But when the tides turn, and those opportunities are simply no longer there, well, these same beliefs become quite dangerous and even destructive."
