[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am reading Reich’s big tech book, and one passage talks about how the CEO of Amazon and Google come from humble beginnings

Bezos grandfather was head of a govt agency and owned a ranch he summered at. His stepfather was an engineer at Exxon

Pichia’s father was an engineer at large British company and owned an electrical plant in India

Is this humble beginnings? My mom was a county clerk and my dad was an unemployed alcoholic, when I write my memoir do I say i rose from squalor?[/quote]

One quip:

“Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on January 12, 1964,[17] the son of Jacklyn (née Gise) and Theodore Jorgensen.[18] At the time of Jeffrey's birth, his mother was a 17-year-old high school student and his father was 19 years old.[19] Theodore Jorgensen had ancestry from Denmark and was born in Chicago to a family of Baptists.[20] After completing high school despite challenging conditions, Jacklyn attended night school while bringing Jeffrey along as a baby.[21] After his parents divorced, his mother married Cuban immigrant Miguel "Mike" Bezos in April 1968.[22] Shortly after the wedding, Mike adopted four-year-old Jeffrey, whose surname was then legally changed from Jorgensen to Bezos.”
