Class is in session m*therfu*kers. Professor Stewart presiding.Kudos once again Mr. Stewart, kudos. The media are writing up this story as if they are looking at something they've never seen before. It's called journalism you tards. You know, not taking people at their words and holding them accountable? Try doing it sometime.
However, besides pointing out the lack of integrity in journalism done by the people that are supposed to be doing journalism, there was a more important point that was made. Class warfare exists and it is being waged by the rich on the poor every day. People look to game the system by risking what does not belong to them for short term game. They walk away with millions while, as Jon puts it so well, the house burns down. It is not right. The rot is deep. The problem is systemic. Consumer driven growth is an unsustainable vehicle for human progression. Why would we want to fix a system that generates nothing and games and gambles our future away by playing to greed and selfishness? First, Americans became the hardest working people in the world in order to fuel their consumption. When that wasn't enough, they went into debt to continue this irresponsible spending spree.
This is wrong. If we can't change the system, or if we can't change human tendencies then f*ck it. I'm all for over regulating these capitalist pigs to death.
