A finance expert and Fortune 500 therapist examine the potential motivations of billionaire cheater Steve Ballmer and his subordinates. Unsurprisingly, people who have enough money to do literally anything they want do not evaluate risk the same way as the rest of us. Just another sign that wealth hoarding is a mental illness, imo.

I hate the existence of billionaires as much as the next person, but it always rubs me the wrong way when journalism wears its bias as a badge of honor. Just the facts, please; trust me enough to come to the right conclusion on my own.

    trust me enough to come to the right conclusion on my own.

    The whole western information sphere, and most people are already mind-colonized, by attitudes like this. Any uncertainty in facts is claimed as 'Conspiracy thinking' and boxed in with stories of Aliens and shit - just to make it embarrassing to believe in. It's a real playbook from the elite.

    The US elites are constantly manipulating what 'facts' is, and muddles/hides all evidence. They can prosper for centuries behind this 'Hard facts only' mental shield, where all the lesser deductive and abductive facts are being downplayed/ridiculed and ignored.

    It IS a badge of honor not to have succumbed to US elites constant propaganda narrative, and as long as they DO seek the facts - as all real journalism should - I think it is quite okay to try and correlate all the other types of facts (inductive, deductive and abductive facts) into a coherent and likely picture that connects the dots and show everyone how this current mess came about and works.

    Let critical investigative journalism explore and try to connect ALL the dots - as they are supposed to.
