COLLEGE ADMISSION SCANDAL Social media is having a field day over the arrests of actresses Lori Laughlin (Full House/Fuller House) and Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), both charged with hiring someone named William "Rick" Singer to allegedly help their kids get into major universities, either by helping them to cheat on their SATs or by pretending that their kids were standouts in high school sports they never played. But is this all that different from the way that things have always been?

THE AMAZON HQ2 DEBACLE Amazon promised 25,000 new jobs in a new secondary headquarters called HQ2 in New York City in exchange for a $3 billion tax incentive. Suddenly, the rabble rousers and the protesters got restless and the deal was undone as Amazon decided to pull out. Is this a victory for the little guy? Tom lays it out.
Here are two of the articles Tom referenced in preparing for this episode: Amazon had New York City in the bag. Then left-wing activists got fired up and Amazon HQ2 defeat is a win for Queens activists but a ‘facepalm’ for tech leaders.
