Great use of satire, IMO. People are very frustrated with the financial industry these days. But I’d ask them to look at the situation more closely before getting mad. With Europe in a very bad spot, is now the time to really move if you’re a bank? Or would the better move be to sit on our cash and wait for more stable times.

Oh geez, Dark. Please don’t try that.

Why is Canada weathering the crisis so much better than us, with their much-more-regulated banking industry?

And I thought private industry led, that it innovated, that it drove the market. The recent right-wing perspective seems to be a financial industry that’s completely reactive, that will never invest in anything before it’s safe. So who leads the way? Government?
