“It’s easy to laugh at Kim Kardashian, who recently announced that she failed the California bar exam,” Max Raskin writes.
“But Kardashian’s failure is not a knock on her — it’s an indictment of the bar.”
“But Kardashian’s failure is not a knock on her — it’s an indictment of the bar.”
Opinion | Actually, the bar exam failed Kim Kardashian

Odell is full of shit. Every single SEC program hosts mandatory financial literacy seminars for players and provides lists of trusted advisors and has for 2 decades. He absolutely had access to the resources to understand finances and budgeting. He gives the game away when he talks about “flaunting”

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
