You can put the blame on all the bank executives and send them to jail.

If I was a dictator, I would let the banks collapse. Because if they knew they could, they actually wouldn't. Now the banking industry is spared from the basic concept of a venture, and they know it full well. Any other company would simply disappear after a bad choice, but banks won't be allowed to and thus they pump money into senseless targets, knowing they are safe one way or another. If their plans fail, the executives know their best friends the neoliberalistic politicians will save their miserable skins.

What do you mean if?

While I agree its stupid to have a protest without a concise cause and good leadership (i.e. this stupid protest) there is a solution as i mentioned before, although highly unlikely to ever happen because of our fear of "soshulism" and lack of actual leadership. Nationalize the banks, start giving out more loans to U.S. business at lower interest rates (the near 0% interest rate is for banks, not common people). Then get growth going. Adding a large stimulus (thats not bullshit half tax rebates/cuts...and much larger than $700 billion) for jobs in infrastructure, education, and spending would spur our demand and and get things moving again. At the same time, more spending would have to mean more cuts, which would be in areas the American people will be anal about, i.e. military, social security, and medicare.

That really comes down to the core of the problem. Politician interfering in business when they really shouldn't.

Laissez-faire is not perfect by any mean, but it has been proven to work many times, as long as it is allow to function as intended. The public can bring a company down quicker than any governmental entity.

I mean no offense but I believe that lot of people talk without knowing shit, and the worst is that they really think they are smart, sagacious and seeing behind the veil when they just have half assed notions of global economics and global geopolitics.

It has been the greatest robbery of history. Just facts. Credit Default Swaps. Up banks down states.

In the case of the USA they just kept printing money and the dollar being the reference currency it had affected almost everything. Of course the real inflation is just ludicrous. And the main problem is that for almost 30 years they have been witness to a continous and massive delocalization and dismantlement of productive fabric. like many other 1st world countries. This is more argumentation than fact.

Pretty much most of the stuff that's going to happen here is purely for the sake of discussion or venting.

If people were really serious about doing anything, they wouldn't choose an anime forum with an audience that comprise of a few dozens people scattered across several different countries as a method of spreading "the message".

What you say is true. But what proof do you have to say that this is the only medium the topic is being discussed on? What proof do you have that something isn't being done.

True the members of gotwoot are few and scattered but it is happening in their countries too.

It was a response to Edort4 comment to point out that it's unnecessary to be picky about the level of proficiency in economic and politic when all this boil down to just hot air.

I really don't have any proof as to whether or not something is being done, merely just common sense.

If i were someone trying to accomplish something important, making long posts on an anime forum arguing with anonymous people would be pretty low on my list of priorities.

Also, it would be simply more effective to show me proof that something is being done rather than ask questions about whether or not i know if something is actually being done.

If you are actually doing something, kudos to you. I'm pretty sure then that any post you make on this forum is merely for the purpose of discussion and not because you expects any fruitful results.

So, anyone else seen this yet? This is the first time a video has ever sparked such a genuine feeling of horror, disgust, & rage. I want to hurt something. -_-

Interesting read. Good to see the patriarch is capable of handling his sizable clan.

Still: "As the world's population nears seven billion meet the man who hasn't helped!"

The hell is up with this headline? I don't need the paper to make judgments for me.

I value quality over quantity. That guy should spend more effort picking a decent flower rather than gathering weeds.

Yea, not the fittest group I have seen.

Kinda ironic and fitting if you just consider how many people from this forum alone were born in October.
