I’m fully on board with the system of trading for items people actually desire, and we accept the world is a society of favoritism, so something like buying said colleague a nice dinner or sending Xmas gifts to their kids as a gesture of gratuity is totally fine, but not all the way to straight up pay 4 play
in other words, what Dr Dre did is still partially *acceptable* but not Felicity or Lori
