Apparently last year she published a book about her supposed experiences during a ‘gap year’ she took in Zambia. An article containing excerpts was published in The Telegraph, leading to a thorough Twitter roasting by actual Zambians, who said her account was pretty much bullshit. The Telegraph took the article down (here’s a reprint), and she retracted the book.
I read the entire story. The best part was when he managed to mention how the plastic gloves he was given ( I think they had him handing out food ) were too small for his big giant hands.
Start with Donald J. Trump for one. Don’t forget Ivanka’s father-in-law who went to prison for felonies. Shrekli, Mnuchin, Koch Brothers, — assholes every one. Washington lobbyists; Kleptocrats in Russia and Africa. And those are just the most obvious names, from current affairs. Larry Ellison is widely considered an asshole; Madoff, various Wall St. financiers never charged, Chainsaw Dunlop. Et cetera.
What do we do now? You post testimonials for several billionaires, and then I come up with more baddies? Should we move this topic to Thread Games?
I despise the man, but c’mon. Was he handing out food he was actually touching, or manning a spoon? Was he changing gloves (granted, doubtful). And finally, the ongoing paranoia over germs (germs! plague! zombies!) has struck me as overwrought for quite a while. Yeah, immune-compromised people can get dead from food poisoning, but the 99% (statistics made up on the spot!) are at worst going to spend some extra time on the toilet and go on with their lives.
