What is the scandal that warrants “drowning them both?” That a Senator has a daughter who is a CEO? What else?



>What else?

Maybe the fact her mommy is President of the National Association of State Boards of Education and drafted a law making them mandatory for schools to buy, then her husband lobbied for the law, once it became mandatory for schools to stock them they hiked the price to $500.


Textbook rent-seeking.
