Anyone who’s been around Wall Street long enough could have told you Lutnick has had questionable morals and ethics even against subpar standards among finance professionals.

Wanting to be rich is fine, but too many people are trying to get rich in zero-sum ways. We need to get better at differentiating extractive types from people who create valuable products and services.

Being a builder is positive-sum and we should be happy when people who build new and helpful things profit from it.

We should want to get rich by providing good services and products. It seems to me that more and more people are trying to skip that and go straight to rich without doing anything useful.
