At least he put his money where his mouth was. Or rather didn’t put his money, but you know what I mean.

He still killed other people, and fired the only guy who got it right, denying him revenue and pension and health insurance.
Revenues are modest in the submarine sinking business
I didn’t mean to say he’s a good guy, just that it’s one step up from others who make others take the risks at no cost to themselves. You know, face I win tails you lose kind of thing. But yeah, still reckless and irresponsible.
You mean: He put his ass where his mouth was...?
He put his ass where his money wasn't.
I mean, at those pressures, yeah.
I suppose that to be a CEO in that kind of business you have to have a faulty understanding of risk.
