They deserve it for avoiding the holdco sale alone. Pioneering a new model of getting rich for the rest of us.

This year was much less of a train wreck than last year.

It has 700 likes on YouTube and 7,000 dislikes. It also ranked near dead last on the USA Today Admeter and was openly mocked on Twitter for days.

I’m sure the clients were tough, but it was a big miss, even outside of our industry.
