The investment …
The investment bankers sure as don’t ‘create’ value, unless you mistakenly equate the inflated and often hallucinated prices of increasingly imaginary things (derivatives) with value. IB was once about allocating capital to the best companies/ideas. Now IB is all froth, sucking the productive lifeblood out of nations via taxpayer bailouts and the like.

Two of the most …
Two of the most useless professions in the world – both purely in the service of the wealthiest 1% of society. The ‘consultants’ told companies to downsize and offshore their operations, decimating the productive capacity of western nations. In their wake they’ve left morally and physically ruined unproductive nations.

I would have loved to see financial disaster.

yes, small …
yes, small businesses were the hardest hit, and banks still aren’t lending, especially to small businesses. In the US, that is one major problem the Obama administration is trying to resolve with the banks.
I’m not much for bailouts b/c they present a moral hazard, but pumping liquidity into the financial system was the only way to save the world from financial disaster.

But Zed that …
But Zed that happened anyway. Tons of small business and some larger ones died simply because they wern’t being lent money.
It just seems to me is that we (in the UK more than any other nation) gave them so many billions of our own tax money for very little in return.
I used to feel a sence of pride at paying tax, knowing it was usually going to go to worthwhile things. Now I seriously just think screw it, I’ll wangle every penny I can get out of them.

You’re missing the …
You’re missing the point of what banks do.
Deposits are protected by the FDIC up to 250k, so that’s not the problem here.
The problem is the market for commercial paper. You guys don’t understand how dependent the financial system is on short-term borrowing to meet important things like biweekly payroll.
You let the banks fails and a crisis of confidence develop, the financial system seizes up and nobody gets access to short term borrowing. Companies stable just the month before now go BK.

But why zedend? All we are talking about is that everyone would have lost their savings and what they had in the bank. Since everyone would have lost why would it even matter? It would be abit like burning money.
It would have been a great leveller.

Believe me, if the …
Believe me, if the banks weren’t bailed out the middle class would have been destroyed as they have no buffer to survive a depression .

You are told that …
You are told that socialism is a problem by rich people who do not want to pay taxes. Just as how you were told ‘we must bail out the banks’…why? Because the rich and powerful would have lost their wealth and power if we hadn’t.

All our Governments …
All our Governments are now in debt, paying for their mistakes. We pay to maintain the status quo.
We asked ‘why do they need bailing out?’
They said: ‘Because otherwise it would be a disaster.’
We ask why, and they say: ‘Because it would be a disaster not to.’
And so my friends the status quo remained. No shift of wealth or power, the same people have it as they did ten years ago. No new ideas, no new companies, no new thinking. Just the SAME OLD SHIT.

@MisterLeung …
@MisterLeung Typical wannabe banker (wankster). for money & affluenza NEVER leads to true happiness and deep down you know that, only to very temporary thrills. But go ahead and have fun with that, waste your whole life working for some monster TNC doing mule-work then die divorced and miserable at 40, it’s your choice, I don’t blame you for being too stupid to see past it all, 99% of people are like that. I used to be exactly like you, but then I woke up. I genuinelly feel sorry for you.

Have fun contributing to society as a garbageman, you poor faggot.

Banking would have …
Banking would have to be the most soul depraving, heaven’s-gate-shutting job imaginable. I for one choose not to be 55 thinking “hmm I’ve got a nice yacht, but I contributed [this much] to the complete decay of society, instead praising greed, affluenza, vanity and polarisation of society based on wealth, and condemning 60% of kids worldwide to poverty”. Bankers never really go “wow what an honorable, giving life I just lived, making the world a better place.”
In other words: they are scum.
