This is only peripherally related but ...

I see signs all over "Now Hiring!" at restaurants and stores. Yet would I better prefer to see signs that proclaimed "Now Firing!" -- for being fired is opportunity calling, and being hired can be into a salt mine.

WHAT! ME worry??

What? No “Dinosaur Financial Industry” alert?

"If recession should threaten serious consequences for business (as is not indicated at present) there is little doubt that the Federal Reserve System would take steps to ease the money market and so check the movement."

---Harvard Economic Society, October 19, 1929

This is a perfect example of why we shouldn’t have regulation in the financial markets. Let the free market regulate itself. After making bad loans, foreclosing on huge amounts of real estate they cannot unload, and borrowing themselves to keep afloat, the banks are now laying off workings. They need to offshore all these expensive positions to India and China to save money. They should also look at payday loans to help bolster their bottom line. They might also look at branching out into liquor and cigarette stores, that way they would make double the profits in the inner city areas.
