How should we rank stupidity versus corruption? My point is that we are outraged at this guy's transparently stupid act, but I opine that we would be less outraged (or not even notice) if he was corrupt to the same extent that he is stupid. Neither is a virtue but as we stand in judgement then maybe our standards should be challenged.
He is corrupt. El Salvador is half a dictatorship, and the reason it went on this bitcoin venture is because its beardo bro dictator hangs out with bitcoin people and unilaterally decided to do it.
