6. Like Liza told Diana Trout, if she hadn’t lied, she would have never worked there in the first place.
7. Speaking of Diana, she’s already over it.

8. Getting away with the lie for years is a more intriguing news story long-term.
9. Liza having to lie exposes rampant ageism in workplaces publicly.
10. It’s all about shaping the next news cycle and Liza has considerable connections.
11. The older generations will love the idea that a woman in her 40’s was needed to get a Millennial publication off the ground.
12. In fact, they might see Liza as the real authority figure and Publisher at Millennial instead of Kelsey.

13. ‘It’s only when you’ve lost everything, that you’re free to do anything.’ – Fight Club’s Tyler Durden
14. One can say the lie burdened Liza Miller as much as it helped.
15. Being exposed in the public eye involuntarily takes away the anxiety of making a choice about it.
16. While some business partners might leave, new ones will form in their place.
17. Liza Miller did not lose her editing skills when people found out she isn’t 27.
18. The spirit remains the same, no matter what the age.
19. George Carlin once said, ‘Some men are already old men in their twenties. It’s about attitude, a point of view, a way of thinking.’ The same applies here.
20. Charles’ ex-wife can’t say he ran off with a younger woman anymore to paint a negative picture of both.

21. Similarly, a lot of Diana’s subconscious anger was that Charles fell for her same-age peer rather than a young assistant.

22. Publicity, even negative publicity, gets your brand talked about which is priceless.
23. The personal name recognition could make Liza Miller bigger than the whole Millenial brand nationally.
24. Liza’s real age might actually help should Charles’ ex-wife start a custody battle over their kids.
25. The story will open the door for others who’ve lied under the same circumstances to share without shame.
26. Liza Miller could become an inspirational symbol in society for gaming an unjustly discriminatory system.
27. Zane and much of the office’s anger is that others secretly knew before them.
28. Kelsey Peters once shed tears when Liza was being blackmailed to take another job in Season 5 of Younger.

29. Without knowing Liza’s real age, almost everyone was fooled. That’s a compliment if there ever was one.
30. Liza is close to and protected by those that have the most power over her career. Though not untouchable, those in power will fight for her to stay.
31. The fact Liza helped establish Millennial as trendy breaks the notion you have to be part of an age group to understand it.
32. Liza was already told by Charles’ ex-wife she was the only Editor that ever understood her before The Debutante Ball. It can’t be taken back.
33. Should the company choose to pretend they didn’t know and fire her, it’ll be transparent they’re playing the PR game. If Liza goes, Millennial goes down with her.
34. Liza Miller holds the actual leverage if fired, as internal knowledge of her age would hold the company accountable in a court of law for discriminatory practice.
35. Lauren Heller doesn’t seem genuinely angry with Liza, just playfully taunting her. Lauren will likely be over it quickly if she isn’t over the lie already.

36. The case makes the public rethink their perception of age as a whole in a positive light.
37. The entire ordeal brought Liza back closer to Josh with a single phone call. Which is what she seems to truly want…

via GIPHY

38. Quinn wanted the story out in the first place, she’ll likely look to cash in now that it’s out in the open.
39. Maggie certainly doesn’t care, ‘the dark cloud’ of media attention doesn’t make her think any different of Liza.

via GIPHY

40. If Liza decides to walk away, other fledging companies will offer her a position immediately to turn their fortunes around.
41. Results matter to financial bottom lines more than superficial qualities. Age doesn’t change talent.
42. Liza Miller can’t take it back even if she wanted… So why regret?
