Dear Martin

SJ brings up the bootstrap mentality which Jared says he agrees with. SJ replies that in order for people to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps [...]they have to be able to afford boots.” Explain this statement and state your opinion

Can you help me

In context, I would think this refers to pulling yourself up and bettering your life. In my opinion, SJ is commenting on opportunity.
