Doesn't the current president of the U.S. and indeed his posse sorta of espouse this when you look at their backgrounds? This feels like a bigger cultural issue around what the advantaged folks have been doing all along

This has been endemic for a long time. I’ve always known folk who game the system, regardless of politics or demographics

The change I feel is that nobody even cares to be honorable any longer. There is no benefit, even culturally. As the article says, you’d have to be stupid not to do it. I’ve always tried to be honest idk

But laws don’t matter anymore. There is no shaming bad actors. It’s all blatantly out there and no consequences have been doled out so here we are.
