If our children know to be kind, how do our leaders not?

Is there anything on the media diet of these folk to determine why they feel so lost? Constant β€˜Britain is broken’ or β€˜Reeves’ tax raid’ dishonesty?

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trumpβ€˜s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.
