Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Right?

Behind the Bastards

Like that's Bill Ackman.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

And you're going to see this from him over and over again.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

This reality is wrong.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

If it's not working the way I said it was going to be, that's impossible.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

It has to work the way I said it.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

The way I predicted is the only way things could go.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

And when things don't work out that way, he flips his fucking shit.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

It's very funny.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

And that's going to be...

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

It's also this need he has to make these bets with no margin of error based on this like insane confidence of his.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

It's going to work out more often than it should, but it also goes wrong a lot.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

And usually his dad's not there to like let him off the hook.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

That's an important thing to kind of note.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

I'm sure his dad, his dad was trying to be a responsible father here, but that's maybe the wrong lesson to teach him is that you can make dipshit bets all the time and nobody will like really call you on it if you're wrong in a way that will hurt you.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Maybe that's not the right lesson for Bill to be learning at this point in his life.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

I don't know.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

oh my god what a weird what a weird family what a weird way to like yeah what a weird kid like i'm gonna bet my father who was an adult man all the money i have that i might it is weird that you take that at all that is bizarre parenting right yeah like my thing if i tried to my my dad didn't even know what my dad didn't barely finish high school he didn't know what the fuck was going on in my school like oh you got some numbers right great good for you kid like yeah i'll take all your money

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

yeah taking your like a bet is a really weird it's one thing to be like okay you know i'll give you you'll get this or you know i'll do this for your allowance or whatever if you do if you improve on your test score i don't know i'm not against the idea of like trying to motivate a kid or whatever but gambling on with all the sats with them is insane like that's a really strange thing to do with your child your son
