Jews loving money is the stereotype. Them being good with money is a modern myth they've perpetuated. Its like the idea that Jews are high IQ when the reality is very very different. Just look at most of Biden's cabinet and how stupid they are.
I don't really like to be racist (I know that is ironic considering my username) and although I love saying nigger and making politically incorrect jokes on Kiwifarms there is a great explanations for Jewish people and their
supposed amazing money skills that are far more grounded in reality:
I haven't come across that many Jewish people personally to gather an informed opinion on them but from what I can discern they
are fairly intelligent, put a heavy emphasis on their children getting a good education and also an emphasis on proactively starting businesses and are quite culturally insular which means they benefit from a very strong social network from birth. They have "Jewish schools" and I
believe have Jewish neighbourhoods also. The significance of Jewish schools shouldn't be dismissed because it means even if the children (or their families also) don't attend regular religious services they are still embedded heavily in Jewish culture, belief and the Jewish social network.
I've heard (not idea if it is true or not) that when many of them graduate from any decent college they can basically take advantage of various low interest or interest free loans from their social network so that they can start businesses.
And
networking is one of the key skills for career and business development in the modern world and has also been a much honed skill since the stone age - they seem to have had that part figured out for ages and just because they are a bit insular doesn't mean they are isolated.
It's "unfair" in certain ways I guess because it is basically a form of nepotism but I have equally heard stories about people from various churches (particularly in the US) having strong community ties and doing similar things with their kids. You can even look at the Westboro Baptist Church as one example (the "god hates fags" guys) - 11 of the Fred Phelps children were lawyers. Mormons are also similar, they have strong social bonds and have secret (or at least very private) social clubs and conduct business with a "community first" mindset. I've also heard of Muslims having similar things. Even Scientologists have an insular and isolated thing going on which means if you're a dedicated Scientologist (or grew up within the church) you'll benefit from Scientology-owned businesses, the tight knit community, celebrity and rich people connections, a ready and willing customer base and they even supposedly offer their members business and management training programs.
When you compare what I'm talking about above... I don't think it is the case that Jewish people have super secret money powers. They may be slightly more intelligent than other people but the commonality between Jewish, Westboro Baptists, Mormons, Muslims and Scientologists isn't generally their belief system or race but rather that they have tight-knit communities that allow for their members to benefit from a high-trust social network, connections, financial support, implied trust from familial connections ("oh you're John's son, John is a long time member of our church so we're going to extend you a red carpet in terms of trust") and also connections with similarly minded people who are willing to do business deals and willing to exchange privileged market information as well as having a reliable customer base from their own congregation.
The below tables show there is a decline in people of some religions actually attending religious services over the decades (it is generated by ChatGPT and I had to ask the fucker like 10 times to make the tables like I asked but it kept trying to write me an explanation):
Now ignoring "rest of the world" within the US it's pretty clear much less Christians regularly visit church. I don't think I would be stretching things to guess there are a lot more agnostic people who aren't actively involved in their religion (but I could be wrong) and individualism has taken over and the "nuclear family unit" has slowly evaporated which means people do not have the same communal ties and networking that a strong community provides.
Interestingly, Christianity seems to be most impacted by individualism whereas Jewish people and Muslims seem far less impacted:
So Jewish people and some other religions still benefit from the high-trust network that their religion/culture provides them and they probably have a significant advantage over "individualists" because of that. People without that "natural social network" of people they grew up with and knew well and who turn 18 years old and take the first bus out of their home town to go half way across the country may be more "independent" (which is a value many young people take pride in) but it does come with the cost of cutting all community ties and thus you have to work 10 times as hard as the people who grew up within an insular, high-trust network.
