Have to say, I have worked in a top tier company in a major city, and this liberal devotion to “the right people” was always on display. The “right people” were always liberal but it wasn’t just political, it also had to do with the town they lived in, the school they graduated from, there was always some nonsensical basis for who the “right people” were. So this article really hit home with me. And I can tell you the “right people” cannot stand those who succeed without the proper pedigree.
