The other two threads were merged and moved to the Politics forum, and the wingnuts are already on the move.

No time overlap. That's like saying you can't make it for Veterans Day because you have Thanksgiving plans.

Yeah, that makes it ironic, but it's the family that would matter irrespective of the source of the wealth.

Well it's not like they would be close if it wasn't for their wealth either. They pretty much own Newsom.

It's the optics but he knows that doesn't matter to his large army of bootlickers. Case in point.

Yeah, they pretty much own Newsom if they want to, but Gordon Getty and Gavin's father Bill might have become and stayed friends anyway.

The tuition at SI is close to 30K per year now, but back in my father's day (before Gordon and Bill) and in my uncle, Gordon, and Bill's day (my uncle was a student at SI at the same time as Gordon and Bill were), the tuition wasn't much (my dad came from a middle class family, but his parents didn't own their home, while their less well educated siblings did), and what mattered was ability...you had to pass the test (my father and his brother did, but their cousins didn't) and religion.

It was also an all boys school way back then, and was still so when my first cousins attended in the 70s.

IIRC, it became co-ed in the 80s or 90s.

My father and my uncle were close to their friends from SI, who were from various socioeconomic backgrounds, for the rest of their lives.

Gordon Getty and Bill Newsom might have become friends and stayed friends even if the Gettys weren't fabulously wealthy.
