alt Hacker NewsWell, all the stuff in Epstein files and all the leaders and supposed thinkers in them, Trump, Weiss, Kennedy, DOJ resigning ... one can safely say that existing elites are grifters. When relations to criminals, criminality itself and spectacular moral rot are rewarded in actual leadership, disability accomodation is not the primary issue.
Do you want future moral leaders? Prosecute Trump, Epstein friends, Musk, Bovino, Thiel and investigate corruption om supreme court. Investigate cops murdering citizens too. Investigate wall street.
Also, article did not claimed they are getting advantages on tests, just that they claim disability. There were no data on test advantages.
The biggest issue seemed to be ability to claim food intolerance to avoid mandatory cantine eating - so they get cheaper food. Plus some dorm room allocation issue.

The college disability stuff sounds like small potatoes. At least, compared to Vietnam draft deferments. We used to have Gore and Kerry types, who volunteered for the infantry. Even with the lottery number 356, Trump ensured a medical deferment.
Yeah, people are so quick to beat up on students for needing extra time or accommodations,yet elite basically act with impunity.
Spot on. This objective criticisms in this type of reactionary ragebait hit a lot weaker these days. Especially as this exact type of reactionary ragebait served to propel overt grifters into the highest offices of our country.
The fish rots from the head, and any discussion of this topic that doesn't at least touch upon the open corruption of our society's most powerful role models is prima facie dishonest.

If you want people to respect your ethical concerns, don't be a political hack. I can't help but notice all of the people you single out have specific politics. But the JE files contain many, many people from both sides. If you use things like this to smear those whose politics you don't like, you seem like the exact kind of person you are complaining about.
