Hook or Crook: How Money Games the System


The Fraudulent “fittest” by any means necessary

AITA’s (my thought but not only mine)  — If a wealthy person or a group of wealthy people bribes Ivy League universities to ensure entry of or grease skids for their offspring (without qualifying skills or knowledge, not unlike non-qualifications for the bought U.S. presidency, House and Senate), is that an action in the affirmative or, in the vernacular, “affirmative action”?

College Bribery “Charity” deceives and defrauds, masks payoffs, funnels millions to bypass standard college-entry requirements — manufacturing a “fittest” to fulfill the prophesied illusory “survival of the ‘fittest’.” 

By any means necessary!

Made in the USA where every entry
Every act has a price
Bought and sold
Cheapened at the $price$
As no exacting standards apply 
For the careless, reckless rich.
By hook or crook: 
By any means necessary. 
After all the young must be carefully taught 
To lie, cheat and steal.
They are heirs to the "fittest" of them all.

The official was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity.”
