Update:
USC puts a hold on accounts of students linked to admission scandal
Loughlin lost her Hallmark gig and one of her daughters, Olivia Jade (stripper/porn star name) who had an Instagram following of 1.4 million people and was called an "influencer," lost her contract with Sephora. So it appears these assholes are being hit in the Hermes bag.

More people will be bleating "but it's not faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir to punish the kids when they didn't know," but seriously if you are being asked to pose for pictures like you are on the crew team, someone with a room temperature IQ could figure that one out. Of course they knew.

That's the same kid who recorded herself saying she didn't really care about school. So she did somebody else out of a spot and laughed that it didn't mean anything to her...no sympathy for her.

I also found a new term I like....Lawnmower Parent: Mommies and Daddies who plow everything out of a kids' way, as opposed to making the kid address his/her own obstacles in life.

John Oliver did a piece on this and called it Snowplow Parenting. One of the "children" they talked about was a girl who didn't like any kind of sauce on her food, so her parents went to extreme measures to ensure she never had to deal with sauce or condiments (you can't make this shit up, I swear). They would call friends before meals together to remind them to make sure there were no sauce-like foods on the table-- apparently it wasn't enough for her not to have it, no one else could, either. She wound up dropping out of college because she "couldn't deal" with condiments in the cafeteria.
Why don't we ban people like that from the country?

I think the other status symbol is having kids who don't drive. When I was barely 16 I accepted a job not knowing how to drive the extra car (old, stick shift) that my family had sitting in the driveway. (My sisters did not want to learn.) Job = money = gas money = freedom.
Urban kids would be different, but I know a few parents whose kids don't WANT to drive. I guess they don't have to drive because they are chauffeured everywhere. It's probably safer for other drivers on the road, but a lot of kids I see today do not have that used-to-be-normal urge to get away from their parents.
A lot of kids prefer to stay up their parunts' asses. They have been raised that way because the parents have no boundaries with their kids and they want it that way. They want to be BFFs with their kids because they have no identity other than Moomy. (It's most always Moomies who do this.)

Initially, pea picking was supposed to be a few hours of pocket money but it turned into much more for me.

Loughlin is going to trial in October and now that she's facing serious jail time she's regretful, however, not regretful enough to plead guilty. She's counting on lawyers to get her out of it. Her defense seems to be that she thought the $500,000 was going for a building at USC.
Anyway I'm bumping the thread because of this article.
Yeah, it's the Daily Fail, but it's fairly decent. It's about a ghost writer who was paid to write college applications and how that's only the beginning. It's a process to get theserich, mediocre people into the Ivy League schools, then to write their papers to get them through school, to assist them with resumes, and finally, when they are older, to get them hired on for-profit boards, where they show up once every six months and collect hefty fees.
I thought it was pretty interesting and it confirms a lot of what we were talking about.
