Somebody asked this earlier, I believe, but is there any way to monitor where all of this money that universities are paying is actually going? I know it's going to be supposedly paid to "the federal government" but is there anything more specific as to where it's going? Because it wouldn't surprise me at all if Trump and his minions are personally skimming from the payments, just like a mob family or corrupt political boss would.
That’s an interesting thought, especially considering Trump’s support amongst “macho” young males, and how Tony Soprano and Tony Montana were the protagonists. Art imitates life but also influences life. I don’t think electing a mob boss is a negative to these folks. It’s part of the appeal.
None of them did anything wrong. Speaking of which, how wrong is it to extort private money given to a private University for doing nothing wrong. I’d like go to a MAGA and say I’m going to withhold your paycheck until you give me $5000. That’s fair isn’t it?
They got off cheap ($50 million) probably because they had not done anything wrong in the first place.
idolizing the tony's is laughably braindead. a couple of assholes who died relatively young and badly, particularly mr. montana.
