While we are on the topic of white guys being allowed to fail upward think about Elon Mush. Can you imagine if the government hired a professional accounting firm to audit all of their federal agencies? And in their web site "reporting" of their "findings" they contained as many falsehoods, fabrications, outright lies and misinterpretations of the data? If they had just one of them they would be bounced and their nationwide accounting reputation would be forever ruined.
But we are OK with Mush and Trump publishing pure BS and passing it off as professional auditing of government fraud and waste.
