People with inherited wealth are treated like they are smart, capable, and credible when billionaire nepo babies are really the worst at everything except sucking and dying.

how good they are at dying is TBD, but we should find out ASAP. you know, so we know how safe to keep them.

Its because, if you are handed inherited wealth and all the privilege in the world, there really isn't an excuse to NOT be better than everyone. Yet... they never are. At least nobles back in the day actually tried to be better than everyone else. Nobles these days don't even try.
