Back then, pretty much everyone had. If your dad is a shit shoveler, then you're also a shit shoveler. Cause unless you find someone else to let you be their apprentice, your parents are the only ones who are gonna pass on any knowledge of a trade. Plus, your dad already got the shovel and the cart, and that's an investment!
I agree but what does not translate to modern days. This is my point actually
But the meme is specifically about historical events, not modern day. And you also need to take into account that with the case of "top 1%", they often still pass on the family business to their children, even in modern days.
