If you (can) remember back to those halcyon days when Enron was revealed as a pyramid scheme (or was it a Ponzi scheme? And who cares about the difference?) and failed spectacularly, the Golden Child was a student at an Episcopal school attended also by the daughter of the most prominent Enron figure to go to jail (the name escapes me and I don’t care).What happens after one of these people is inevitably revealed to be a Jeffrey Epstein-like person?https://t.co/ezWWd3ISur

Anyway, he’d given so much money to his daughter’s school, a plaque went up in his honor, in a plaza named for him. And just as quickly came down when he was indicted and then convicted. And all the money he gave was refunded, or given to a victim’s fund, or something. And his name erased from memory and forbidden to be spoken (well, not officially, but everyone knew to be silent), and I think the daughter quietly left the school (or had already aged out).
Quite the small scandal; and not exactly the White House.
The next president can demolish that ballroom and jackhammer the MAL patio and strip the walls of the Oval Office and burn the names of donors off the walls (“The People’s House, brought to you by Palantir and Sinclair Broadcasting”). Starting January 21, 2029.
We’ll last until then. We always do.
