How can the finance fuckups of one country effect the financial wellbeing of all the other nations of the world?

I have to admit that I don’t own a house, have enormous amounts of money invested and basically this financial crisis we are now in has very little effect. Add to that, I am an Australian with a fairly safe financial base, with all our large banks making billion dollar profits.

But, I still have to ask why the yanks allowed their financial institutions to steal money from them.

I have always had the belief that people investing in homes and realestate, with the hope to make unbelieveable profits in a very short time deserve to be in the position they are in now. These fucking leeches have taken an immoral ground that, as long as they make a small fortune short term, who gives a shit if the new owners need to take on a mortgage they really can’t afford. I suppose they can justify their greed by claiming that, these strugglers should have done their research.

I believe in karma. Do something bad to someone, something bad will happen to you

Also, how immoral can the financial institutions be. These fucking pricks sold loans they know would never be paid back. How could a battler l;oan 200k, pay at a reduced rate in the hope that the banks will be understandable when the full rate had to be back. Sure there was a lot of ignorance on the borrowers side, but the banks were sitting in their high branches like vultures just waiting to pick off the people who had to forclose.

Banks, don’t lose money. They sell a loan and if the loan defaults, they sell the defaulted loans to some more vultures. Don’t ever think that Banks lose money. It’s a fucking lie when they say, they have made a loss.

And, whats with the multi-million dollars incomes of the CEO’s and Directors. 4 million, 12 million and ever 28 million dollars yearly incomes are the norm these days, even if the institution makes a loss.

I think that all Banks large an small should be Government regulated to assure that there will be some transperancy in how these banks operate. How can an CEO justify sacking 200 tellers, claiming they are trimming the fat, when infact they have just had a 3 million dollar pay rise?

It sucks and I for one would not support any move to financially support these thieves. Any Bank that can be proven to have participated in risky Bank practices and then scream massive losses should be gaoled.

Stick them behind bars and liquidate all their assets and give their loved ones an income eqaul to and no larger than the dole.

Well that’s what I think.

It was Saturday the 4th of November 2006 and my fiance and I were having a coffee at a well know coffee house not far from were we live. Starbucks is world famous for coffee and new shop had opened up and we were keen to give it a try.

Now before I go on and tell you why we will never go back there again, please let me explain that the staff themselves gave us the sort of service we wanted, smiles and hello’s is what we expected and thats exactly what we got.

Lisa and I visit coffee shops regularly and we both regard ourselves as yuppies or toffs just because we like a great cup of coffee. No we are both addicted to the buzz and enjoyment you get from a delicious cuppa.

Starbucks, you would expect would have a decor well researched to give their clients the atmosphere of culture, sufictication and a lay back modern mood. Extremely clean and mood enhacing by a better than plain selection of piped music. 10/10 for the decor, but 3/10 for the cleanliness and 3/10 for the music. (more…)
