Ngl, I have a bit of a softspot for Bloomberg. He wasn't quite as good as Giuliani, but he also wasn't as bad as De Blasio. I also like the fact that he's a businessman, because that means he has more knowledge into the inner workings of various industries, compared to normal politicians who only know about things insofar as it affects society and their reelection campaign.

If he was part of the CIA why would he run for president?

Why not? And even if he was in the CIA I don’t really care. That would be way better for his campaign then if it came out when he was working for McKinsey he was helping opioid producers as some speculate.

He was just working at a job that paid him because that's what people do. It's not some sort of huge secret thing. Conspiracy theories aren't good whether they come from the left or the right. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself

Yes, but when you work for some company that does terrible things it says something about your morals. Not saying he did or didn’t, but it is relevant.

I disagree with the premise that if you work for a company you are morally responsible for everything it does.

McKinnsey isn’t a normal company. It’s not like him working for a department store that sells blood diamonds.

Spoiler alert: it's something boring and doesn't matter at all.

It especially doesn't matter because no matter how hard him and Warren go at each other, Biden is still going to win.
