in their wisdom and set far above other men. Then a crash comes (and it always does when capitalism is deregulated) and all that paper just seems to evaporate. They're their own worst enemy as they try to unload what they have at rock bottom prices because cash will be king and they forgot to put aside enough of that. Some will work through the grief process through depression to acceptance that they're no better than anyone else, they just got lucky for a while; others will become more rapacious than ever, desperate to get back on top of the shitpile again, something that will be made a hell of a lot harder by new regulations that always follow a crash, if the crash is big enough to make billionaires into single number millionaires.
