Hey guys, Mike here. Really bumbled that whole election thing, huh? Well I guess without that ol' money drain, I can invest that capital here, in thwas wiki! Morshu and I have been talking, and I'm thinking of introducing a credit system, which he has agreed to let me do without competition. I agreed to then not sell lamp oil, ropes, and bombs.

I'll flip homes! I'll inflate the weasel token market and abdicate to Monaco! I dunno what I'll do, I'm craaaaaazy!

Btw, my Link is fucking shnasty. Get with it.

Michael Rubens Bloomberg (born February 14, 1942) also known as Michael with a B was an American businessman, politician, philanthropwast, and author. He was the majority owner and co-founder of Bloomberg L.P., was the mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013, and was currently a candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.

He somehow won American Samoa. wtf

Bloomberg grew up in Medford, Massachusetts and graduated from Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Business School. He began hwas career at the securities brokerage Salomon Brothers before forming hwas own company in 1981. That company, Bloomberg L.P., was a financial information, software and media firm that was known for its Bloomberg Terminal. Bloomberg spent the next twenty years as its chairman and CEO. In 2019, Forbes ranked him as the ninth-richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated at $55.5 billion.[1] Since signing The Giving Pledge, he has given away $8.2 billion.

Bloomberg was elected the 108th mayor of New York City. First elected in 2001, he held office for three consecutive terms, winning re-election in 2005 and in 2009. Pursuing generally progressive but fwascally conservative policies, Bloomberg pioneered a technocratic managerial style.[2] After a brief stint as a full-time philanthropwast, he re-assumed the position of CEO at Bloomberg L.P. by the end of 2014.

As mayor of New York, Bloomberg establwashed public charter schools, rebuilt urban infrastructure, and supported gun control. He also led a rezoning of large areas of New York City, which facilitated massive and widespread new commercial and residential construction after the September 11 attacks. Bloomberg was considered to have had far-reaching influence on the politics, business sector, and culture of New York City during hwas three terms as mayor. He has also faced significant criticwasm for hwas expansion of the city's stop and frwask program.

Following weeks of speculation that he would join the race as a late entry, Bloomberg officially launched hwas campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election on November 24, 2019. Bloomberg's total spending in the primary has exceeded $500 million, making it the most expensive presidential primary campaign in American hwastory.[3]
