Capitalism Will Eat Itself

NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH GIGANTIC NEW BANK

Titanic has been sailing between Southampton and New York for more than 90 years

HBOS and Lloyds TSB last night created a monstrous new banking entity safe in the knowledge that nothing can possibly go wrong.

Politicians and businessmen breathed a collective sigh of relief as two of the biggest names on the high street formed one very long name that will never do anything other than be brilliant all the time.

Martin Bishop, a senior trader at Madeley Finnegan, said: "History tells us that massive financial institutions do not fail. Ever. Okay, there is maybe a tiny handful of exceptions.

"Okay, maybe 40 or 50 exceptions. Actually, you're right, this is starting to look really dodgy."

He added: "If you'll excuse me, I have to start selling the shit out of Lloyds TSB."

As shares in the new banking giant plummeted, the government came under renewed pressure to stop people wanting lots of money.

A Treasury spokesman said: "We've devised a regulatory framework that will effectively ban greed and no-one will ever be able to find a way round it. At least for the first six months. Probably."

Meanwhile Downing Street sources let it be known the prime minister intervened personally to push for the deal which will put 40,000 people out of work.

Watch the movie Zeitgeist. search it and DL it for free. It's aimed at Americans(a 1/3 of the movie is about how 9/11 was an inside job, as alot of terrorism is), but the religious and political/banking sections are universal.

Cheers for that. Interesting stuff.

This crash is great. How I laughed seeing all those greedy banker boys clearing their desks, and carrying out the contents in Champagne boxes

Reagan and Thatcher created a casino economy, with Gordon Geckos ''Greed is Good'' mantra as if it was a new religion. Stupid cunts. Now AIG is all but nationalised, just as communist Russia did to their institutions. The Free Market works. HAHAHAH. Yeah right.

This economic crisis theyve created is a global crisis. It is more serious than the crisis in 1929, but make no mistake the rich never suffer in a recession as much as the rest of humanity.

Many people will now lose their jobs, lose their houses, lose their livelihoods, but there seems to be plenty of money for killing people abroad. They are bombing in Iraq and Afghanistan costing billions of dollars, but theres not enough money to meet ordinary peoples needs at home.

The Free Market does work... what they did was interfere so it was no longer a free market.

Lol So why was there a crash then ? Capitalism taken to its conclusion is a free for all, with a fuck everyone else attitude resulting in death and poverty , which is why more than half the worlds population do not have clean drinking water

Well, too much borrowing. Facilitated by US governmental control over their currency using the Federal Reserve. I'm no expert on the theory but it made sense to me reading it a while ago.

Well, yeah, capitalism does have its winners and losers, but you get more winners and less losers than other systems. It's not a good system, but there isn't better.

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

No other system has ever been tried on a global scale.

I quite like the idea of killing the rich as a partial solutuon, and distributing some of their billions to the starving. Just an idea.

(apart from Roman , of course)

[Elliott 7]

Why kill, just straight out steal and let the greedy bastards suffer!

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

Now we're talking.

So lets get this right, Public Money - taxes from when ordinary people work hard is being used to prop up the banking spivs at AIG, Fanniemae and FreddieMac etc that have gambled it away on behalf of shareholders, and multi millionaires. Its wrong I tell thee. I predict a riot...

DAYEM!!!...The Federal Reserve paid 85billion $ to AIG inorder to save their arse which is equal to saving MAN UTD's Arse.

War is the major source of income for the US. The amount of money they get from War Alimony , defense contractors, the interest rates on them, plus acquiring the oil fields in Iraq, etc etc, rakes in billions of dollars for the US. Ever wondered why US targets only the oil rich countries like Iraq, Venezuela and now Iran.

Inshort, War is just an investment for the US which gives huge returns.
