TJ Walker delivers a short, opinionated YouTube commentary about a recent scandal. He highlights that the individual involved admitted wrongdoing, apologized, and is accepting consequences (loss of jobs, board positions), which Walker frames as how a functioning society should respond to breaches of contemporary moral standards.
Finally, here's a scandal unveiling in the way scandals are supposed to happen in America. A guy is caught doing sleazy, schemy things, and he's actually honest. He says, I apologize. I'm embarrassed. He's acting like a real human being, and he's being punished for it. We don't see people saying, well, good for you. And that'll. That'll show them. That'll show how tough you are. You're not caving it. No, he's actually taking punishment. He is getting canned from every kind of job opportunity. He has board, director's prestige. We're not going to see him writing op EDS in the New York Times anytime soon. This is how a decent society works. Someone is caught doing something that really thumbs its nose at contemporary morals and standards, and they're punished, and they're taking their punishment. Refreshing.
