I know how sensitive you he-men snowflakes can be, so I’ll preface this by saying this post is in no way a violation of my pledge not to offend you pantywaists until November 1st. I’ve been exceptionally self-censorious, even though most of you actually would prefer I not, according to the poll data.
Having said that, this post’s title is based on the old joke about the father showing his son the yachts of the great brokers of New York City, to which his son asked, “But where are the customers’ yachts?” (You’ll note by the placement of the apostrophe that the lad had enough sense to distinguish between a singular and plural possessive).
The current chief executive of the federal government has made many billions of dollars while in office through various and sundry methods. Some of these schemes allow the investing public to participate. The man has made himself exceptionally rich, but I must ask: what about the rubes who bought into these various opportunities? Where are THEIR yachts? Tell me that.
If I’ve missed any – – particularly if they’ve made spectacular profits for the hapless investors plunging into them – – please do let me know!
I’ll wait.
