Every. Single. Time.
I remember being surprised when I found out Carrie Fisher only got into Hollywood because her mother was Debbie Reynolds. Then, time and time again, I found that famous actors didn’t get their parts because they were great actors, but because they were blood relatives of other Hollywood people. It was my first introduction to the insular world that elites create for themselves, and how they hypocritically preach the opposite of what they practice themselves.

I used to know a guy who worked at a furniture factory in the Carolinas. (The Carolinas were once famous for furniture.) After Bill Clinton took the lead in admitting China to the WTO, he said they were selling at retail lower than his cost of production. So the company closed up the factory and moved the entire thing, including him, to China.
The machinery wasn’t left to rot. The workers were. And then they had a childish temper tantrum, and instead of retraining into 21st century high tech industries, they went and voted Trump into office.
