In this episode of “Influencers with Andy Serwer,” the New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe asserted that elite business people are less likely than everyday Americans to face consequences for immoral and even criminal behavior.
The past few years have seen a reckoning among the powerful, such as disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, and the once-influential Sackler family and their now-bankrupt drug company, Purdue Pharma.
How did these figures evade justice for so long? best-selling author Patrick Radden Keefe says it’s because society enabled them..
“I think we as a society have given a pass to elite bad actors, people who went to the right schools and made the right connections and our you know, photographed with, with notable political and business figures,” Keefe told Yahoo Finance.
Keefe went on to cite Weinstein, who’s serving a 23-year sentence for sex crimes; Epstein, who took his own life in jail after being charged with sex trafficking; and the Sackler family, who agreed to pay a $6 billion settlement over its role in the opioid epidemic.
“I think there’s a sense whether it’s Jeffrey Epstein or Harvey Weinstein or the Sacklers,” he said, “that if you surround yourself with the right people and the right blue-chip institutional affiliations over the decades, it’s possible to do a great deal of wrong without it catching up with you.”

What the heck is an influencer? That’s a nothing title. They aren’t a doctor, researcher, police, firefighter, or anything useful.
I’m sorry, the term “influencer” has about as much substance behind it as a bum off the street who passes out fliers for a nothing party for some ridiculous blow hard who just needs bodies to fill a place so he can pretend he has lots of friends.
This shouldn’t be even worthy of mention. This is like a glorified version of Paris Hilton, but even less meaning🙄

Hello
My advice to young traders it's to get a good trade Brooker who has the in-depth understanding about trading. That's why I recommend Sir Mark Brian
My life changed since I started with $3000 and now I make $16,450 every 11 days
The dip has made major corporations lose billions in dollars but that’s the beauty of a long term investment as it only gets better with time and if you can act like these corporations and invest while you can then you’ll almost enjoy same benefits as they will when the prices go up. Trade with a professional trader for more funds safety and for risk management generally Mr john darry will be my recommended.
