No "free lunches"

This is one of the many Western pablums for idiots justifying the consolidation of multi-generational wealth.

Bill Gates had the "free lunch" of an internet devised by public universities, highways and airports and electrical grids constructed by generations of federal funds and union labor, employees educated by public universities, a legal system constructed by hundreds of years of Western Civilizations all freely provided to develop, deliver and then protect his "intellectual property".

There is plenty of "free lunch". There is no "individual achievement". All "intellectual property" is collaborative.
