You’re A Sucker For Not Believing That The System Is Rigged

Imagine you spent two years completely screwing up at your job, I mean not merely getting every single thing wrong but loudly, proudly getting in everyone else’s face about how right you are. You’d get fired, terminated, 86’d, and Schiff-canned. But not the mainstream media. The media hacks failed for two years-plus, nonstop and without equivocation, but are they ever going to be held to account? No, they’re just going to gather in a big circle and Pulitzer each other.

Imagine you committed a racial hate crime where you falsely accused people who didn’t look or think like you of a horrible atrocity, and that you’d have gladly picked some poor saps with the wrong skin tone out of a line-up and sent them to prison for decades given the chance. Now imagine the two half-wits you hired to help you managed to get caught on video buying their stereotype get-up and spilled it all to the fuzz, though the fact you paid them with a check – because you’re a criminal mastermind – was already enough to get a grand jury to indict your sorry AOC. Now, what are the chances the DA is going to transform your 16 felony counts into a $10K fine and a couple days community servicing? Your chances of said outcome are poor. They are poor because your pals are neither Mrs. Obama or Willie Brown’s gal pal.

Now imagine that you studied really hard while the rich kids partied and smoked dope and splattered water on you by running their BMWs through puddles as you walked home from high school. Imagine your last name is “Chang,” or that your dad is a soldier and not a hedge fund manager, or that your mom is a waitress and not a TV bimbo. Now imagine how you feel when Durwood Richguy IV gets admitted to Harvard when he can’t count past 10 with his Gucci loafers on and you get slotted on a waiting list for Gumbo State.

Color me not surprised by this latest "scandal." Rich people bribed officials to get special favors for their idiot offsprings?  This has only been going on for say...I don't know....since the start of civilization.
The system is rigged when your children can't get a fair break anywhere.
That is not the case here.
While it's not fair that kids with better grades were denied entrance because their parents didn't pay off some college schmuck, those kids will still come out pretty good in the game of life.
Any kid whose grades are good enough to get admitted to an Ivy League school will do alright.
Bad things happen in life to many people. I can think of a lot worse things to happen to someone than not getting into a college where  they wanted to enroll.
If the worst thing to happen to you in your life is that you didn't get into Harvard, Yale, or some other "prestigious" institution, but had to settle for some school that was pretty good but didn't have the "prestige," then your life has been pretty good.
