Why is it that the richest, most successful people’s kids so often turn out to be scum?
Spoiled brats, often times.
Relative lived in Irving years back. I kinda wish they had kept that house.
You could just be calling your own kid scum, unbeknownst to yourself!
Because they’re so busy being rich and successful that they often don’t have time for family? Or that, being so rich and successful, they unwittingly inflict severe cases of affluenza on their families, particularly children who get overindulged and shielded from consequences.
Yeah drug buying probably. Gone bad obviously.
“Why is it that the richest, most successful people’s kids so often turn out to be scum?”
They’re not. What’s happening is that the rich guy’s son is news, while the poor guy’s son is not. Statistically, the poor are many times likely to be criminal scum than the rich. But that does jive well with the classwarfare narrative.
Lots and lots of people buy and sell drugs, we hear about those that come from wealth and fame because that is what sells papers. If the local delivery truck guy, janitor, or bartender on the corner lost a son in a drug deal that would not interest many or sell papers.
If you notice people are shot pretty frequently in drug deals gone bad; most of the time their parents are not even mentioned if there is an article written about it.
The Trumps are the exception.
You seen to mistake success and being rich as somehow inoculating a person from being scum. Many rich and successful people are scum and their children tend to be scum too.
I will now type something politically incorrect: Any story with a dead drug dealer is a story with a happy ending.
