Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Reggie, the company you work for just filed for bankruptcy! How can I trust you with our money?
A: straw man: a misrepresentation of an opponent's position that makes it easier to argue against
B: guilt by association: a negative association intended to discredit someone or something
The text argues that Reggie must be fiscally irresponsible, because he works for a company that went bankrupt. However, even though his company is perceived as fiscally irresponsible, that doesn't necessarily mean that Reggie is, too. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
