A lot of fresh college graduates take a year to see the world while they are still young before embarking on their careers. It’s not a bad idea - the young can experience travel in a way retirees will never be able to. But taking some common-sense precautions is a good idea, and pretending that all people everywhere are well-intentioned is a bad idea.
Exactly. That was my first thought, but when I began reading and saw that quote about evil being a “construct” and nothing more...well, I knew all about their approach.
Also, he quit his job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Either he was earning big bucks on the government dime, or he came from money. Ah. He went to Georgetown, then seven years after graduation, working a government job, paid his student loans off and had enough money to quit his job and go on a worldwide bike tour.
Assuming he had student loans, which for Georgetown, would not be insignificant.
Those HUD jobs must pay well, for all that difficult teleconferencing and password changing (from the article)
I take no joy in their demise, but it is a signal lesson for leftists, that they will be sure to ignore.

I’m guessing they’re still burning student loan money. Money that eventually we the tax payers will have to pay off....
“It’s not a bad idea” . . .then they have no right to cry and whine about their student debt, after all, traveling the world costs bucks, no matter how cheaply they try to live. If they are rich enough to travel the world for a year, let them pay for it, but first, pay off student debt.
If some snowflake debt-ridden graduate wants to travel the world, great, let them join the military and get to see some very unique places that “normal” tourists don’t get to see. . .and they get paid to travel.
