Examples of baldly in a Sentence
To watch an elected official – who claims to represent the people inthis state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote – has been truly appalling, so let's be clear, this is not a speech of concession.
To put it baldly, there are two ways to become wealthy: to create wealth or to take wealth away from others. The former adds to society. The latter typically subtracts from it, for in the process of taking it away, wealth gets destroyed. A monopolist who overcharges for his product takes money from those whom he is overcharging and at the same time destroys value. To get his monopoly price, he has to restrict production.
