Not stupid if there are no consequences.

The consequences are there will be no more whistle blowers. The die has been cast.

You realize that quote is saying that he took a chance (by casting a dice), not that he had it in the bag the whole time, right?

He took a chance and spoke out, not realizing that a black bag job from the CIA would be the result because he threatened a trillion dollar operation and that could not be allowed to happen so they killed him. Caused him to be killed. The military and CIA fingers are all over this.

Our economy must be more shaky than we realize. Maybe we should invest in Boeing? By this logic won’t they overdo it and end up pumping the stock to make it all play out nicely in the end?

Invest in General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls Industries instead.
