Is anyone actually in charge of running this forum even looking at this PDF?
I'm seeing the exact same thing as jadebadger12 above.

@Jack Rodriguez85, got a few questions since you clearly know your stuff, especially regarding your point about how capitalist bankers basically triggered the crisis for everyone else.
It’s all pretty much the same thing: what actually are financial derivatives, who came up with them, how do they even touch the real economy, and why did Warren Buffett call them a "weapon of mass destruction" way back when?
Look, I'm no expert. But that's exactly why I want to hear from one (well, anyone except Buffett 🙂)

Not exactly his biggest fan, but I actually agree with this column.

Alright, first comment I saw from some "expert" thinking Christian Horner's logic makes sense. Personally? Doesn't hold water. In past seasons, I doubt a team would make moves mid-season over a measly 5-point gap—especially just thirty minutes before qualifying, right???!!—while claiming both drivers are still equal.

As for the rest of the piece, yeah, Mark Webber is digging his own grave. But let's be real, most people would do the exact same thing in his shoes since Red Bull clearly isn't running an even playing field at all.

A 12-point lead (which is basically just one fourth-place finish under this scoring system) is nothing. Using that as the sole excuse for such a questionable call is just insulting to anyone who actually follows NASCAR. Seriously, how many people have I heard defend that logic? Almost nobody.

Both guys at Red Bull Racing have an equal shot at the title right now, so Christian Horner's excuses are total bullshit. Just pick a side already instead of screwing over the fans and the drivers. They're wasting a killer car with this kind of management.
Honestly, this is disappointing. I'm not even a die-hard NASCAR fanatic anymore and I barely care who wins, but I can only imagine how pissed Mark Webber must be, especially since he's been in peak form all season.
