They might pass an IQ test with flying colors, but these men, to say the least, are not intelligent.

Totally.

So Justin Fox attended UVA.

I mean, one of the things we do in this podcast is create empathy.

So, you know, at least we're building some bridges with Justin Fox.

This might be the first and last.

He graduated in 2020.

He majored in commerce and minored in German.

He interned for Morgan Stanley doing wealth management during college.

He has no graduate degrees or PhDs.

He previously worked at a private equity firm called Nexus.

I feel like I have to put on a voice when I start saying this shit.

It's like I'm reading them.

Yeah.

His income at Nexus with a private equity firm was a base salary, $130,000 a year.

Bonuses were anywhere from zero to $100,000 additional dollars.

Prior to that, he was an investment banker at Jefferies.

So he had a finance background that I would go so far as to say his privilege bought him into.

Yeah.

And the last thing I'll say to that end is like part of what to me is so disgusting about this entire situation, why I want to make this episode is that the premise of Doge, particularly as it related to cutting grants related to DEI, which is grants for gay and black people and women who talk about, you know, sexual violence or whatnot.
