[Thank you for the explanation. That is a choice they made which I presume they have made peace with.
In my naivety I don’t see being a kept person as much of a defense but perhaps I have been lucky. I’m not much for unions either...
Once you sell yourself what more do you have left to sell.]
What are you going to do to pay your bills, at a time when your law school peers made partner long ago, and you’re not exactly welcome on corporate boards or many big companies because of your widely-publicized apostasy from the widely-accepted positions of the day. Look at what just happened to Steve King, who was primaried from his Iowa House seat because he suggested that white nationalists were no worse than black or other kinds of nationalists.
Bottom line is that right-wing media pundits have to walk a fine line. On black issues, don’t expect anything resembling candor, unless that pundit is a black conservative, and even then it’s not clear that they really have a blank check. But being non-black and on the wrong side of that line is a literal career killer.
I am not disputing the truth of what you say. I have lived my life, made my choices a different way. When a path emerged that would have compromised my integrity I did without. Another door always opens.
Don’t you think those men knew what they were selling when they took those jobs? There is usually a turning point where you know what you are getting into. The test of who you are occurs at that fork in the road.
I guess I have trouble with the idea that not only do you sell yourself you mislead the public by hiding the truth and supplying a plausible lie. That contributes to electing the leftists & globalists who all but destroyed our Country. These men misuse their positions and influence for a cushy life. In my vernacular that is evil.
Steve King made some ill considered statements, inartfully. He shot himself in the foot, probably should have retired to spend time with his family but he didn’t really understand that he was irreparably tainted.
