[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't the college and universities where these women paid tuition and took out student loans also considered MLM? That's the ultimate marketing scam and pyramid scheme. LLR was successful because these college educated SAHM moms didn't have careers but had a lot of college debt. I hear stories like this all the time, where a college grad in debt will go further in debt to pay off the student loan debt. [/quote]

LuLaRoe's whole initial shtick was that it allowed women to keep their SAHM title but still earn income. For certain types of religious women, particularly LDS women, this is a golden unicorn. Most of the women profiled COULD have gotten real jobs because they had the education to do so, but they wanted the SAHM lifestyle. This is one thing that makes LLR a little different than some of the other MLMs; when starting off they specifically went after educated white women who weren't financially desperate.

I agree that regulations re: federal student loans need to be tightened considerably. Specifically, universities that have poor graduation rates and offer low ROI should be banned from receiving them, as should any for profit university. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the students' tuition and graduation at these places isn't dependent upon recruiting other students, which is why they aren't considered MLMs. Not to say they aren't shitty, but it's a different business model from what I understand.[/quote]

The first time I heard about it was from a neighbor that dressed very conversatively (no pants) and it was touted as conservative, modest clothing for modest women. I am shocked this was never mentioned in the documentary.[/quote]
