Ben and his guest did a deep dive into why Ruiner is trying to crash the bond rating and/or cause major institutions to file bankruptcy.
Ruiner is a monster, trying to enrich himself and the rest of the billionaire class.
Another layer of perversion is that Ruiner made major profits managing union pension funds.
