The commercialization of family strife

And now, finally, we begin to see what the unecessarily public rift between Kellyanne Conway and her daughter was all about… a cynical play for fame and fortune.

Just a reminder that you get more of the things you incentivize. Millions of American teens are about to learn that one way to get rich and famous is to publicly denounce your deplorable parents.

This will not end well. For full details, see Orwell’s 1984 or THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

The problem, of course, is that not every American teen has parents who are politically valuable targets like Kellyanne and George Conway. But that inconvenient fact won’t stop kids from rolling the dice.
