          it tends to go one of two ways. Either there’s a conscious and intentional choice to reject the way one’s parents are (which didn’t happen,); or we tend to emulate them in our own lives. This is natural. regardless of if you weigh in on genetic vs learned behavior, it’s your parents providing both of that. They’re an example and a role model- even if one comes to consider that model to be an example of what not to do.

      Third party and also-rans are always a scam. You have a team of assistants, an expense account, and you can even be feted by billionaires up to and including Putin. If you’re smart, you wind up with a few million dollars, a book you had ghostwritten, and maybe a string of appearances on Fox that you can turn into a gig.
