" I
am advocating that, so long as this glass floor exists, we must make it accessible
to more than just the elite."
It is precisely
because the "elite" have a kind of country-club network of
eye-winking insiders that the glass floor exists for them. "We protect our
own". You can't suddenly transform first generation success stories into
this insiders' club.
That what
The Great Gatsby is all about.
No matter how
much money Gatsby had , he could NOT buy his way into the "old money"
club.
Michael Jackson's million-dollar weekend shopping sprees make that clear. OUTSIDER to the end.

To be an INSIDER
you have to be INSIDE.
Even snooty
Yalies on this posting board have in the past claimed I was not a
"real" Yalie because I went to the Divinity School ---a
kind of academic playpen in their eyes.
Only the Tom
Buchanon Yalies (the undergraduate experience Yalies) are authentic.
Humbug.
