Well, he’s built a multi-billion-dollar company at the interesting of technology, finance and the media, to start. But he’s also maintained popularity as the mayor of NYC into a second term. I think there’s something to be said for accomplishments, and he’s accomplished more than many.
So has Ted Turner...
What's to be said?
I wouldn’t attempt to argue that Bloomberg is “stupid.”
But I would say that he is a political opportunist who says what he says for political effect rather than from conviction, and that his worldview might enable him to succeed in business (particularly if he violates his own alleged “principles” for the sake of a buck), but that doesn’t mean that it is a sound worldview.
Bloomberg has never been the sort of politician I would be willing to trust.
