I think most of these people know they're lying. I wonder what it does to a person's soul to get up day after day and promote these horrible, destructive lies. And for what? For status? Career advancement? Political advantage? It seems genuinely pathological.

And he's not even halfway through this term yet.

Hound couture. That's what I was reaching for.

Canine-centric couture.

Every few years we get an Enron or a Sam Bankman-Fried to illustrate beyond all doubt that Wall St is kinda dumb actually. The AI bubble is next up.
