We go to eleven!

--imm

Why not just make ten the loudest and then go to ten?

but this one goes to eleven!

by enabling my employer to rent and take up that much more office space, this extra demand drove up real estate prices in manhattan, in turn making donald trump rich!

egads! i'm directly responsible for the disastrous calamity that is the trump campaign! kill me now!

how is your analogy comparable? Reiner created the entity that made Bannon uber wealthy. Without that deal, Bannon is a nobody.

it's not like they were business partners working side-by-side for years.

sounds like bannon was a broker when reiner wanted to sell his business. bannon got a fee for a service.

this is not reiner creating bannon any more than saying i'm responsible for all future actions of anyone i ever pay for anything.

actually, it sounds like what really made bannon's fortunes was his decision to get his fee in the form of rights on shows like seinfeld, which would have been more of a negotiation with the buyer than with reiner.

a show which does not exist if it wasn't for Reiner's company.

if i made millions buying microsoft shares, is bill gates responsible for my future actions?

If Reiner built houses instead of movies and TV shows, and then sold them to a broker who made an unusual profit from them, then yes, Reiner in a sense created the asset that took Bannon from an ordinary broker to a multi-million dollar player.
