She has an EU passport for her and her kid (husband is american though).

China is capitalist.

> like we're now seeing in Ecuador and other countries.

The protests in Ecuador are about IMF austerity measures. The sort of cruel anti-working class policy we've been seeing peddled by neo-liberals for a long time. The sort of policy that is now seeing a resurgent fascism and socialism.

As opposed to the US where it's rob the poor give to the rich and it's so wonderful?

Or they worked for 40 hours assembling computers for minimum wage while the company made billions and billions off that worker labour.

Except Harvard has limited slots and the failsons of the rich buying in takes away a spot from someone who is actually competent and driven.

I think the point is more that he's a useless failson who can just go from thing to thing wasting massive amounts of money and it doesn't matter.

So basically no one from a rural area and no black people?

> I missed the memo on when meritocracy became a bad word

When people realized that the guy who starts with a billion dollar dad and a buy in to harvard is being graded on the same scale as the guy who started in a trailer park with a single mom and community college.

That's because people like Michael Dell have truly absurd sums of money. 30 billion dollars.

His failson can piss away money all day every day and never even make a dent.
