“wtf is wrong with you?”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

“Do you understand the difference between ex ante and ex post, and how it applies to the term â€œbailoutâ€?”

One you agree to bailout beforehand and the other you don’t. How does this comment on what types of risky propositions deserve a bailout?

“pointing out that some bank deposits would be risky propositions in a different universe furthers this how?”
