I appreciate the link, although after viewing it first my Netscape crashed, then Windows crashed, and then my whole computer got hung up. So I don't think I will look at it again.
It is an odd feeling to sit watching an entire financial system--which could be an excellent set of arrangements--drift into catastrophe.
I just hope the really hard-working people--those who are milking the cows, pounding nails in the two-by-fours, teaching third-graders, refinishing floors, pouring concrete, directing traffic, putting out fires (which I have done), and so forth, do not suffer too much because of the collapse of all the imaginary wealth. |
