Sad world we live in when “Influencer” is considered a career. Being influential has always been profitable. What changes over time are job titles and communication mechanisms. She is no worse than TV advertising, and lots of people have careers there. I would argue that like, making like, TV ad, like requires totally like, more skill than like, doing make up tutorials, with a phone, like in your dorm room. Totally. 😉

And then there’s this, signifying much more to come. Peel the onion. Mystery parent paid $6.5 million to get kids into top universities as part of admissions scandalOf the many outrageous allegations revealed by federal prosecutors in the college cheating scandal, one stands out. Someone paid $6.5 million to get his or her children into elite schools. But the identity of that parent — and details about which schools were involved — remains a mystery nearly two weeks after authorities in Boston filed the charges against dozens of wealthy individuals.

Sad world we live in when “Influencer” is considered a career. I was having this discussion with my wife, mostly, "How the heck can I be an influencer?" LOL! Wolfgang that ship sailed! Who would follow you as an "influencer" when 50%+ of your communications consist of the message, "I don't know what this is"? LMAO....

Big day today in Boston for coaches and admins. ⚖️ 🔨 Curious, why Boston? Because they were the ones that ran with the case. The office there was charging a scumbag with securities fraud and to reduce his sentence, he ratted out the Yale coach. Then the FBI got the Yale Coach (CW3) and Singer to set up another person by wiring $500k to boston in order to get into Harvard (fake cover that FBI made up and the wire was sent to the FBI in boston).

Sad world we live in when “Influencer” is considered a career. For some reason that reminded me of another fraudulent case, different and unrelated to the admission scandal, but it seem to reflect certain similiarities in moral and ethics (or lack thereof). I'm talking about the Theranos scandal with Elizabeth Holmes. She was an "influencer" in her own way. She raised hundreds or millions of dollars in capital purely on her power of her persuasion. Yet she had nothing to show for it. People who should have known better, seasoned investors and other venture capital firms, fell for her deceit. When it was revealed she was a fraud, they all ended up as suckers with eggs on their face. It's easy to pin all the blame on Holmes, and she certainly is a con woman, but few stop to think how she got away with it for so long. An environment enabled her to carried out her scheme. In this admission scandal, it is not the same of course. Everyone involved knew it was illegal from the get-go. Yet again, they somehow got the idea they could get away with the scheme. A certain environment was created that enabled them to think like that. The question we should ask as a society is...how was it so easy for these people to pull the wool over your eyes?

She's not even a real blonde. I read an article that said that only 2% of the population are blonde, mostly in the Scandinavian countries. However, 48% of female CEOs/COOs are blonde, which is quite remarkable. Note: of those 48%, they're not all real blondes, in case you missed my message. There's also some dispute about her voice, that it's a fabricated voice to appear more authoritative. Ditto for the Steve Jobs turtlenecks she always wore. From head to toe, inside and out, Holmes is such a fraud.
