He's not a "bad boy". He's a ruthless sociopath who will focus on maximizing his profits no matter the cost to others.

- werber 11y agoI agree, it seems pretty callous that Bloomberg chose to refer to him as that
- dajohnson89 11y ago"Bad Boy" is not as libelous.
- Ntrails 11y agoSociopath sure gets casually tossed around a lot these days.
- OldSchoolJohnny 11y agoI challenge you to make a good argument against the term in this particular case.
- Zikes 11y ago> Sociopath: a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. Given what I've heard about the man, I honestly think it fits the bill.
- roymurdock 11y agoAccess to reasonably affordable healthcare is one of the foundational pillars of any society. If you actively undermine that pillar for your own personal gain, you are dissolving the bonds that hold society fast. You are killing society. Perhaps sociopath is the wrong word because it has a very specific meaning in the medical lexicon. The word I am looking for is one who actively and directly kills the society around him, seemingly with no remorse. Parasite doesn't work because a parasite kills an organism external to itself. Intensely greedy comes close, but also falls short. Any ideas?
