- elektromekatron 11y agoFinance ministers tend to be gamblers, it goes with the territory. He is no idiot though and is at least a qualified gambler, unlike most of them.
- dang 11y agoPlease keep HN comments substantive. Drive-by provocations are low-quality to begin with and risk starting tedious flamewars.
