The other thing is that he is using this to seriously cash in on speaking fees for weird boomer lead companies whose leadership eats up his story on linkedin. He makes like 1M+ every year on the speaking circuit getting paid 30k+ per event to speak 45 minutes to dunder mifflin type companies looking to get hyped up. He has a pitch, his top of funnel is his linkedin engagement on his crappy stories, its a grift.
- phillipcarter 5y ago> its a grift Even if you assume that all those allegations are true (seems like they didn't hold up, but whatever)... ...if it takes a grifter to raise wages in this country, so be it. If it's between grift that helps centralize wealth compared to grift that distributes it, I know what I'm picking.
- rmk 5y ago"Grift" captures the state of affairs perfectly. This is the standard "backup" grift for most public figures, particularly folks such as congressmen, who fail to wangle their way into a lobbyist position, or folks like ex-presidents or ex-presidential-candidates, who can't stoop to the level of being lobbyists (I wonder if there are explicit laws against ex-presidents indulging in lobbying).
