Of the people I knew who got into ivies (or places like MIT), the ones who got into MIT and Cal-Tech were both genuinely smart/talented (though still from upper-middle class families, because literally everyone I knew who got into them was) while the ones who got into Princeton/Yale/Stanford/Harvard were your typical "students who study ridiculously hard and take a zillion practice SATs, but aren't exceptionally smart." Those people now mostly work for consulting firms (it's actually kind of uncanny how many went on to work in consulting now that I think about it; it seems like the elite consulting firms hire heavily from the ivies), though one went into law.

My sister went to Penn and we definetly aren’t rich or even upper-middle class so yes there’s plenty of people who deserve to be there, but there’s also plenty of rich assholes who don’t (especially at Wharton). Two of her friends that I know of from Penn went on to consulting firms.

Similarly, roughy half of the graduating class at Harvard every year ends up working at big investment banks. A mix of nepotism and the typical Harvard hyper-overachiever being suited for an industry known for ridiculous hours and generally being a meat grinder in exchange for making mad cash, because that was the ultimate goal of all the prep courses, extracurriculars, sleepless nights, teenage panic attacks, etc...

I’m thinking of a guy I went to high school with who went to an ivy and is now a lawyer and a real FYGM republican, which isn’t unusual. The funny part is he’s one of these never Trumpers who think this whole Trump thing is a phase, can’t wait for Mike Pence to become president and that eventually the reincarnation of conservative hero Ronald Reagan is gonna ride in on a white horse and restore the GOP to the slightly less racist version of the party they were in 1985.

Significant Ant posted:even after their tuition waiver for lower income, Stanford still found themselves with students whose families had a median income of like 180K+ A girl I dated in HS went to Stanford. Her dad was someone fairly high up in International Paper (which is centered somewhere in or near Memphis). I remember that her family was Republican and that this surprised me because most of the other Asian (mostly Chinese/Korean) students at our school were liberals. I have a very vivid memory of playing ping pong at her house and the topic of the election coming up (this was near the end of 2000) and her mentioning that she was happy Bush won and that I was very shocked about that.

The majority of the country did not vote. It is a fact that the majority of Trump supporters were women and people of color, because that phrase doesn’t actually mean anything. Trump’s strongest support was from middle and wealthy class white people. If you want to game statistics you can argue whatever point you want. The fact is that the wealthy are too afraid of losing their material luxuries and the power they exert over the vulnerable that that they will band together to get behind any politician who promises to protect the wealth of the little lords our neofeudal society has produced as its rulers.

I remember a story Bezos himself told back when Amazon was still new and only sold books. He deigned to spend an hour or two slobbing it with the plebs on the warehouse floor as they grabbed books off the shelves and had to sort them all out while on their hands and knees because there was nothing else available to them. Bezos apparently said to one of them, "Hey, I should probably buy you guys some kneepads, right?" and the guy replied, "No, you should buy us some tables."
