CONVERSATION

Reactions to Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross’ ruse.

READERS OF OUR December 12 issue would’ve been remiss had they swiped past Clare O’Connor’s cover story on Forbes 30 Under 30 newcomer Whitney Wolfe Herd. A cofounder of dating app Tinder, Herd left the company and sued it for sexual harassment in 2014, then started Bumble, a dating app that lets women securely make the first move. O’Connor’s piece gained salience from the recent avalanche of workplace-misconduct claims, noted @SirenofBrixton on Twitter: “May all victims of sexual harassment be able to serve revenge cold in the epic way this woman has.” The rest of this year’s talented tyros provoked reader admiration as well—especially those way under 30. Noted ProPublica politics reporter Jessica Huseman piquantly, “The youngest on the Forbes Media #30Under30 list is 12. Just in case you need help feeling useless today.”
