The idea that stupid people can be incredibly rich and powerful flies in the face of the stories of meritocracy and hard work we were told as kids and a lot of us can't handle the fact that some successful people are just morons.

He clearly had no help from his parents.

Or grandparents, in this case.

It was very well-written! And I agree, more long-read wraps would be beneficial after a story ends. Thanks for writing!

These are parody quotes, by the way. FAKE NOOSE. But protected!

"Although, we could have gone to the Lowe's. The gas is so cheap under 'TRUMP' that it would have cost pennies, but I let this intern decide. Very smart. Has a bright future. Normally my interns are beautiful... women... girls... 21, 22, maybe... but we hired this guy and he's doing well."

Yeah I know. It does this with classical art because it sees a penis and freaks out so I have to appeal it. It’ll probably be fixed in the morning.

Something to consider when another major event takes up a lot of time and ends with an awkward reading list of different snapshots in time.

This article is great because it takes an entire year's worth of events, strips it down to its most compelling and most important parts, and presents it in a well-written and easy to understand way. It's thousands of words, but each one compels the next. It's a good read.

When you're on a daily deadline and covering an event live, you don't always think to summarize a week's or a month's or a year's worth of reporting into a single article. You have a new story tomorrow, so that will be added to the related items list for the story that comes out the next day.

And as the story drags on, there ends up being a disorganized reading list required to understand it. Dozens of articles, sometimes several on the same day, that you have to find by wading through sometimes annoyingly obtuse search functions.
