if there was ever a time for Trump to give Giraldo a big scoop, the Fort Knox stuff would be it. every boomer would know exactly what the fuck is up.
Kluwe famously got a huge payday threatening to falsely accuse several of his teammates of homophobia all the while being caught making jokes about kids being sexually abused in the locker room. Leading to him being blackballed from the NFL for his evil.
my favorite part about that fag was him going "trump said it was locker room talk, but as an NFL pro let me tell you, no one says anything offensive in NFL locker rooms" despite literally having a lawsuit against the NFL because of how offensive the players were being with what they were saying in the locker rooms
The question is who watches the watchman?
its easy, make the watchman an autist. its like how Lex luthor was technically right about his whole "any human being with those powers will use them for absolute evil" but he didn't realize Clark's just some kid adopted by a couple of hicks and was too cornfed on the idea of the american way to think about using his powers for evil. Clark could have gotten Lois to fall in love with him and been running his own newspaper instead of having some boss push him around, but he doesn't. the thought of doing something so immoral is beyond him.
Its like how the English empire had way less bureaucratic watchmen than the french or spanish or german empires in the 1800s, despite being way bigger, because a sense of patriotism and thought that doing good was its own reward meant way less corruption even in places like india where you had a couple thousand english men in charge of a billion people, with little oversight, just because a strong belief in doing good was better than any reward indulging in a vice might have given them.
it was more likely that both were simply correlated with a third variable, money
i think the third variable is knowledge/prestige. a used car salesman will make way more money than an artist yet the people in power and people in general will respect an artist way more than a used car salesman. Beyond that a used car salesman won't be able to know the ins and outs of various stuff outside of how to look up a car's value on KBB, so giving him a free encyclopedia would be a waste of time. same with most small business owners.
meanwhile the sort of person inquisitive enough to make use of an encyclopedia would end up enjoying or thriving in college and then taking advantage of those email or government jobs that make them 6 figures while they do about 40 hours of work a year.
This also leads to fun bits like asking both why a car needs a catalytic converter. your average used car salesman just goes "CUZ ITS DA LAW" whereas an inquisitive person might check state requirements and realize its a bullshit money grab, and depending on if it is advantageous to them they'll either defend or be honest about it.
Like there isn't a single kiwifarmer who'd have made Rod's mistake, but thats if they wanted to actually improve test scores, if they got the same kickback Rod probably did they'd 100% be for it.
Of course Freakonomics is the proto-typical midwit show that basically would try to find more liberal-safe explanations for shit like crime going down in the 90s because police were finally allowed to deal with criminals after the nigs almost pulled a Progrom on the Crown Heights Kikes, instead declaring that its because of unleaded gas and abortion laws and other fun bits so liberals can repeat convoluted explanations instead of saying "niggers bad"
So obviously they'd go with money instead of blacks being notoriously unquestioning. hence the lack of atheism in their race and love of religious leaders and lack of speaking out against their government leaders. Fun fact, black women in baltimore are less likely to speak out aganist the democratic party than the average chink will speak out against china's government, despite both being born and raised in near century long one-party areas.
