Of course Lifetime is making a movie about the college admission scandal...TBH, it'd make a good drama 🤷
Yesterday, 50 people were charged in an elaborate scheme where rich and famous people tried to buy their children’s way into American universities. The scam, orchestrated by William “Rick” Singer, involved a fake charitable organization, some choice Photoshop work and bribes given to SAT/ACT exam administrators as well as university coaches and admin staff—with payments ranging from a casual $200,000 to $6.5 million for parents to guarantee their kids admission.
A version of this scam already exists, legally All Fyre Festival creator Billy McFarland wanted to do was throw a super exclusive, #FOMO-inducing party on a beach packed with models. And at the core of the American college admissions scam, which authorities termed “Operation Varsity Blues,” was a need for parents to get their kids into elite universities, such as Yale, Georgetown and Stanford. And in both these instances, we see the 1% using their wealth to access so-called elite experiences.
Perhaps this is a good time to talk about all the perfectly legal ways the wealthy are both allowed and expected to manipulate college-admissions systems while teaching their children to disparage "affirmative action" https://t.co/VSoOwIiKp7 This quote is actually illuminating. "Why didnt the rich people just exert their influence the socially acceptable way?" https://t.co/XYGuW41qa4The system of legal incentives is so accepted as part of the fabric of U.S.
If you were one of the many viewers who tuned in to Netflix’s Fyre, you know that feeling of watching McFarland repeatedly promising cash to employees and vendors for a multitude of problems, without any regard for what he was actually purchasing. Fyre Festival contained lies at multiple levels, starting with the marketing right down to the falsehoods McFarland told to the company’s employees and local Bahamian workers—echoed by the layers upon layers of fraud involved in the U.S.
