I remember an MLM coming up on a different message board I used to frequent. There was a guy defending the MLM and invoking the name of a future (now current) presidential candidate in the process (who apparently endorsed the scheme). I remember kind of re-writing his posts and substituting “panhandling” for “MLM.” I guess I was living a sheltered life because it was the first context in which I’d seen someone admonish others to “man up” (repeatedly, at that).
ETA: I really should eat lunch before typing my thoughts
