      Money and power gives the confidence to make bad decisions because they have been largely unaware of the risks. All they know is “my personal numbers go up so I make the best decisions” and then proceed to ignore all the warning signs of informed people.

      It’s that classic Arrested Development joke “it never works for anyone else but it might work for us”.
