Yeah, but that's Bloomberg the billionaire. He can completely separate that Bloomberg from the Bloomberg that's Mayor of New York City.

Yes of course. I realize that irony doesn’t always come across well when reduced to a couple of sentences. At least when the reduction is done by an amateur such as myself.
