In my many years playing pick up sports like hockey, basketball and soccer it was always the loser who cried cherry picking and then a couple other losers would start whining about it also. They were a virus to the team. If my teammates started crying about it, I would always to talk to them about defense, passing and movement. It usually shut them up and then our team might have a chance to work together and win. I am about about to go on vacation... so have fun responding... I will leave you all with this must be "cherry picked" study .. proving what I have been saying for the last 2 to 3 months. The proper strategy was and is about letting the low risk live their lives and isolating the old and the high risk. June 22, 2020, Research Update COVID-19 Patients with Chronic Diseases Are Much More Likely To Be Hospitalized and To Die. This Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report summarizes COVID-19 cases reported to the CDC from January 22 through May 30, 2020. There were 1,761,503 cases reported and 103,700 deaths. The seven-day average number of cases peaked in the United States on April 12 (31,994 cases), and daily deaths peaked on April 21 (2,856). The CDC had sufficient information on 287,320 individuals with COVID-19 infection to report outcomes of patients with and without chronic diseases. Cardiovascular disease was present in 32% of cases, diabetes in 30%, and chronic lung disease in 18%. Of all patients with COVID-19 reported to the CDC during this time period, 184,673 (14%) patients were hospitalized, 29,837 (2%) were admitted to an ICU, and 71,116 (5%) died.

I doubt it. Those are examples of honest labor. It's doubtful that his nature would have taken that much of a turn. I have a feeling he would have ended up owing money for hair-brained schemes to the sort of people who wouldn't take kindly to non-repayment. And the non-repayment would have been a certainty. Again, consistent with both his capabilities and his nature.
he's not a good conman, no way he'd get away w/it in the streets for long. He'd have been checked from an early age and likely resorted to honest labor or petty crime to survive.

However corrupt Crazy Eddie may have been, he was evidently smart. That makes him and Trump different.
