2. The asshole who stole billions from charities, pensions, and the elderly gets sympathy.
The guy who swipes $20 to buy some crack gets hard time.

Both are criminals, yet why do we only really punish the latter?

5. Golly, and it would have if it weren't for those meddling kids!
I mean, the laws of supply (of suckers) and demand (of greedheads). See Mika, adults in the world have a visceral understanding that you can't just go on borrowing from later investors to pay off earlier investors forever. In fact, you can't even do it for very long. But you can loot a whole bunch of money for yourself if you get the right people in early, because the suckers you're fleecing later will be clamoring to sign up. You take all their money, pay off some of the early influential investors, then pocket the rest.

Kinda doesn't matter if you "meant" to hurt anyone. It's inevitable. You simple-minded fool (Mika, that is, not Stinky).

6. Mika seemingly only cares about nurturing her images of "Hot Babe" & "Mommy America."
Any comment that doesn't provide support to either of the above "ego images" is not enunciated.

She's a transparent and sad little corporate pundit. :thumbsdown:
