I've been unfair
Watching the Senate grilling of Goldman execs. A highly revealing internal view of the operating code of Wall Street. The entity titled "Sparks", which has a vaguely humanoid appearance, is telling us everything by its complete inability to comprehend any human concept. When asked 20 times whether Goldman had any duty to serve the interests of its customers, the "Sparks" entity was unable to even compute the question let alone answer it. "Sparks" finally emitted a sound sequence approximately resembling "We have a duty to efficiently transact".
Clearly my constant use of the phrase Wall Street Mafia is wildly unfair to human Mafias, whether Italian or Russian or Chinese.
Human Mafias have a moral code, a set of limits, a list of crimes they won't commit.
Wall Street has only one code: "I am the Universe. All property and people in the world are Mine. All governments obey My commands."
= = = = =
Later: It's especially shameful, but unfortunately no surprise at all, to see Republicans like Coburn and the NRO commentators sympathizing with "Sparks". ¶ 9:01 AM
