I think you can be nice and still not be supportive of an MLM.

I would certainly not “help and be supportive”, not one bit.

Go ahead and call them idiots. It's the only way.

They will learn all the important lessons taught by failure.

Selling Amway isn't developing a business. Your advice is sound for entrepreneurship, not so much for MLMs.

To bad. Time to disown

MLMs mean hustling family about “business opps” at every holiday/fam gathering

Just give them a few months they’ll realize it soon enough

The funny thing is his Dad spent some time with Amway and failed spectacularly
