    What frustrates me about Epstein is that everyone just wants to find out who was gooning on teenage girls: hopefully their political enemies. The real lesson we should have been learning was not “who was a creep”, rather “why are wealthy creeps allowed to get away with shit like this”?

    I feel like a scandal of rich privilege could have been helpful for the Nation, oh well.

      Because they are wealthy. Wealth buys lawyers, accountants, politicians, private security, private planes, private islands. Law enforcement resources are finite, a sufficiently motivated and very wealthy person can exploit any system.

      Ahh, abstract thinking. That’s your problem, the people who vote Conservative… well they can’t. Manage to think abstractly, that is. Anything beyond blue = boy and pink = girl is just too much for their tiny little brains to wrap around.
