445: Insider Attacks
Richard Branson, Virgin Money, Green Shoots Economy
Richard Branson appeared on Bloomberg to promote Virgin Money, using the "green shoots" metaphor to describe a potential economic recovery. The hosts dismiss Branson as a "front man" for hedge funds and criticize his "babbling" performance, which included references to "potential icebergs." They compare his rhetoric to that of Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke from 2008, labeling it "new age crapola."
