thought no. 28

Hedge Fund guys make all their money by betting on the failure of some venture or another, right? And, lately at least, they have been doing pretty darn well. Like any American, it is their right, perhaps even their duty to contribute towards the election campaigns of the candidate of their choice.
But I had a thought: When they choose a candidate, do they choose one who'll make things better, which will help the nation, or one who will make things worse, which will help their bets on failure pan out profitably?
