While the money to be made is from recruiting others to sell for you and a never ending Fraudulent Pyramid Scheme, the McGuffin grunt work of the Business model that is actually supposed to deliver real products to consumers is Door to Door Sales.
Kind of difficult to get people to invite you into their kitchen to talk about Vitamins and Dietary Supplements (I’ll note right here that some of my dumber Michigan relatives are heavily invested in Nutralite, part of the Amway Empire) during a Plague.
But- Darwin. You have to be an idiot to buy it and a bigger idiot to sell it so, bring out your dead!
It is no surprise then that Betsy DeVos the Amway Goldigger is 1000% behind lifting any Coronavirus restrictions. The Cure can’t be worse than the Disease.
Why the DeVos family’s backing of the Michigan protests is no surprise

While the anti-coronavirus lockdowns springing up around the US came as a surprise to many, the involvement of the conservative billionaire DeVos family, repeated donors to a slew of dubious rightwing causes, should not.
The family – which includes Betsy DeVos, Trump’s education secretary – has been a regular donor to the Michigan Freedom Fund, which helped promote a Michigan protest against the state’s stay-at-home orders in mid-April.
That rally, which saw about 3,000 people descend on the state’s capitol building, in Lansing, sparked a slew of other protests in states, and an endorsement from Trump.
But the DeVoses’ donations to the Michigan Freedom Fund – more than half a million dollars over the past four years, including from Betsy DeVos herself – are the tip of an iceberg of support for conservative causes.
The family, which has a net worth of $5.6bn accrued through a sprawling business, handed over
more than $10m to Republican candidates and groups during the 2016 election, and has pushed causes including Christian schools and the opposition of equal rights for LGBT people.
…
It was a Michigan organization that has landed DeVos in the news over the past two weeks. The Michigan Freedom Fund, which “fights to champion conservative policies on behalf of Michigan taxpayers” – including lower taxes – helped promote a rally in Michigan against the state’s stay-at-home order.The MFF, which is chaired by Betsy and Dick DeVos’ longtime political adviser, Greg McNeilly, helped promote, rather than organize, the Michigan rally.
But the MFF exists, in large part, due to the DeVos family’s largesse.
The organization has received more than $500,000 from a slew of family members. As well as Betsy DeVos, her husband donated $80,000 just last year. Betsy DeVos’ brother-in-law Daniel and sister-in-law have also handed over tens of thousands to the fund.
No Conflict of Interest here!
Just as a subtle reminder this is what John Oliver had to say about Multilevel Marketing (no show this week).
