I'm so glad not to be in that loop. The poverty's nearly worth it.

Dammit, I've lost about US$700 that I'd totally forgotten about.

I'd agree except when those cunts get a cold, usually everyone sneezes.

 

[coast to coast]

There was a bloke on the radio this morning saying we should be happy its gone under as banks like this need to be responsible for the things they've done and if they go to the wall, they go to the wall. Basically these lads were amongst those primarily responsible for the problems in the American mortgages market causing the credit crunch.

The news sounded awful apocalyptic this morning though.

 

[Los Davos]

Usury should be reclassified as a sin.

 

[flashback]

but its 7.30 am here... how did that happen already?
When do the markets open?

Before 7.30 I suppose.
Oh well. Everyone was saying another major one had to go before shit would stabilize at all.

There's videos of the staff packing up all their belongings from the offices in what looks to be the middle of the night. Must have happened overnight.

The lad on the radio was a bit shortsighted - who's money did he think it was that went to the wall? His granny's.

so, I suppose they tried to sort it over the weekend, and that went belly up, so someone got a phone call.

Ha hahahaha. The fucking state of us.
Giving our learned opinions on Wall St.
The quadriplegic mentally handicapped blind leading the paraplegic mentally handicapped blind pricks.

What's your opinion on the Lehman Bros?
I preferred their earlier work.

It's not surprising that The Lehman Brothers went bankrupt though.
That was always on the cards.
When The Seasoned Professional Brothers buy the big one... now thats when its time to start getting worried.

I wonder how the Russian Business Network is weathering the credit crunch

 

[flashback]

ahhhh hahaha, apparently Citi was owed 138million by these boys.

Oh man. Its just not Citi's year is it.

 

[Gambra]

I wonder how the Russian Business Network is weathering the credit crunch

It's doing very well I'd say. The Georgia attack brought millions in from the government.

 

[dleacht]

What does this mean for AIG?

 

[cephalopod]

Is Kells Credit Union exposed to these risks?
