It's not an issue of morality. If it were, the solution to capitalism would merely come down to putting "good oligarchs" to work, and rejecting the "bad oligarchs". We already know that that doesn't work.

If you're operating in a system where "more money = better than", you can and will eventually rationalize yourself into a position where you will do these things.

Think of it this way: if you are a "conscientious" capitalist, but the business you're in is barely keeping afloat, and you find that keeping yourself in the black requires exploitative practices, the choices available to you are to either go ahead and do it anyway, or don't, and leave the market to be taken by people with even less moral scruples than you. Capitalism as a system acts as its own filter to elevate the worst excesses of it itself to the top.
This is a false problem because the series of negative position alt-coins could double for a 20% overall profit next week.

It's only a loss if you sell negative.

Speaking of the Greenwald tweet stuff, do we know why he deleted all those tweets? Was it just a blanket delete of everything during a particular time period?

he said he deleted pre 2016 tweets because they were easier to take out of context. or because he’s a Russian spy trying to take down western civilization from Brazil.

I'm 6 minutes into this and we already had Morgan Freeman, Robert de Niro, Kevin Bacon, Anderson Cooper, and then swerves wildly into Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Kid Rock.

EDIT: goddamn it then goes to Jack Black, Laura Dern, and Robert Redford. I don't think they'll do politicians until the Constitution.

not exactly shocking given the demographic you have to be in to afford Broadway tickets on a regular basis, on top of the sort of audience a revival of a 60-year-old musical draws

anyway, have a rare non-succ Tapper tweet
