Sorry but I have to…
I was in LA recently and sat in the audience of the Price is Right. Before we went in we were told the rules: Anyone with family, relatives, work or have worked for the network or has business interests with the network was excluded from playing to avoid conflict of interest.* (Listed below.)
If those are the rules for a dumb game show how can the POTUS assign responsible positions to family members and business partners. That is just wrong.
