MODERATORS
They are choosing to do that though.
Maybe this is the true meaning of lacking class.
Some of that isn't a choice. I know Bond traders that make millions a year, but are constantly overextended financially because, really, they are addicts. They have to take risks at all times... It's a compulsion like any other addiction.
That is completely irrelevant in this context.
How is it irrelevant? If you are going to be so dismissive, you could at least use a "because" followed by reasoning... Otherwise i will dismiss your conclusion as flawed... Because at this point it is.
Every possible choice will have an exception for someone who have a mental health disorder that keeps them from being able to make a choice. Your example is an irrelevant outlier that does not contradict the reality that 99.99% of people in the same position can make the choice
Your assumption and conclusion is incorrect based on my experience. Why do you think people with personality disorders disproportionately populate executive positions in corporations? Why are sociopaths great surgeons? Look at rates of alcoholism and suicide amongst professions, and then tell me if those rates support your conclusion that mental health issues amongst those who make money is an outlier.
