I think some people conflate lack of ethics with genius. Or perhaps having a lack of ethics in business is genius(?)

LOL...I suppose the why is that he started with millions, and turned it into billions...and what is ironic I gave you reason one could criticize him for, but you apparently just needed to ignore that part of what I wrote...but I understand.


Please read what I asked. I'm not talking about Trump. I asked you a specific question about the values you're expressing.

Thinking that someone is good at business has very little to do with saying that because a businessman is very wealthy they'll get little criticism from Markk.

You asked me a dumb question out of complete context of what I wrote....

The "values" I am expressing is that if a person turns millions into billions, through bushiness, I cannot criticize them for business, but because I was specifically speaking about Trump I stated things that maybe I could criticize him for, which are many in Trump's case. And gave you examples of areas the billionair could and is often criticized. You seem to have left that part out of your posts. You can criticize Billionaires all day long about what ever you like, but again, if they made billions through business, knock yourself out, I am sure if you registered on their radar they would laugh their arse off, and ask something like...what do you do for a living?

This is maybe the dumbest conversation I have had here in a while.

Thank God no one thought to criticize billionaire Bernie Madoff's business. He made so many people happy.

Actually, in a separate paragraph, you concluded by saying, "I find it really hard to criticize any billionaire business person." [bold mine]

So I wondered why you would feel that way. About, as you said, criticizing any billionaire.

Oh, like you, I would never dare get on a billionaire's radar by criticizing one. And it would be so embarrassing to have to tell them what I do for a living.

I doubt it. I've read some of the others.
