Sounds good to me. I am sure you loved the stock brokers jumping out the windows in 1929 but they got off easy. Read some Steinbeck. I'm sure I've read more Steinbeck than you have. I bet that is right. You are missing the point tho. If it rains on Wall Street, it is a tsunami on Main Street Only because we've let it become that way. This is a bubble that makes 1929 look like a bounced check at the grocery store. To start with, the US is not going to be an economy backed with gold and a world class manufacturing base that is simply under used. We are an over extended paper tiger with very little in hard assets to drag us up out of the mud when our paper wealth evaporates. The world will follow us down the drain. I had no idea you also were a trained economist. Wow. And a first-rate non-scientific outboard repair guy, too |

It isn't true anymore if it ever was, especially since the 1980s. The nature of today's corporate oligarchy is to eliminate competition, eliminate jobs, raise prices, and cut back on service. Do you really think the Comcast-Time Warner merger is going to result in "benefits" for any of the employees or customers of either organization? You are confusing the pressures of globalism on wages with corporate greed. You think the Comcast-TW merger is an outgrowth of globalism? How so? Yes, I would not be shocked if they go after Mexican or Canadian TV next. Comcast is the Borg. I agree we could and probably should go back to a more diverse corporate landscape by enforcing anti trust laws more strictly but that might just push these corporations offshore. There are ways to handle that legally, such as restricting their business opportunities in this market if they do that. How is that going for you so far? Nowhere of course.

Gee, I hope the brokers and banks go down the drain first. They are so deserving.
