It's saying that even just having a garage is a privilege.


Even being able to type in a comment box is a privilege, as is life.


Meanwhile, you're missing the wider point: You don't get to claim "everybody can do this from nothing" if the "nothing" is actually a substantial amount of implicit access to resources.

Nobody (well, few) begrudge that privilege, but you cannot have a reasonable discussion about what led to success by leaving out major factors.


Even the amount of agency you have is a privilege. Hard determinism.
