In defence of Pope Alexander VI he had to work hard to rise through the church to his position of power and corruption. Not sure the orange one has ever had to work for anything.
I wouldn’t get too worked up over Stephens or Kushner*. Ambassadorships to friendly countries - especially the UK - are frequently given to rich campaign donors. The real work is done by their deputies, who are career foreign-service officers. Heck, part of the gig is throwing fancy parties…
…which the rich ambassador can pay for rather than let taxpayers foot the bill.
*Well, don’t get worked up over Kushner getting the gig because he’s rich. Feel free to get worked up over Kushner being a pardoned Trump family member.
I miss the times when it was rude to talk about money. I was always taught never to talk about what you have but it is your responsibility to give back to those with much less. Now the wealthy are celebrities. I’m still a follower of the old rules. It keeps you safe in foreign countries.
