1. It's unbelievable to me this guy used to be on CNBC's "Fast Money" -
If I were to describe that show in a sentence, it would be "The UFC of Reaganite Corporatism Turned up to 100 In All the Wrong Directions". CNBC itself is loaded to the hilt with clown corporatist "anchors" who fall to the right of Milton Friedman.

So it's no surprise that someone with half a conscience would eventually stop lying to himself that the station would be a good fit for him.
