In reply to: An enterprising Observer reporter could make his/her bones posted by FL_Irish

it is not hard to use LinkedIn and a little thought to see more examples of ND leader's kids leveraging their parents' roles at ND - or should I say, more correctly, ND leaders seemingly using their influence and quid pro quo ability with the ND brand to assist their kids.

It is an old story in the world - who you know - but these days social media allows for an enterprising person to identify some of these relationships and at least ask some tough questions of those who are in position to exploit their roles.

It may well be there is no speific quid pro quo. There are certainly some appearances of it with Jack - and a couple others.

Meritocracy is critical to achieve for everyone, especially with divirse candidates. But dammit, let's not start until after my kids have had their chance to use my connections.
