這我小和尚都懂啊!我們方丈死老頭是如是曰的:
Suppose Morgan Stanley and Goldman were both to be let go like dusts, as you have rightfully wished. Wall Street would then be totally flushed away like toilets, as you have also rightfully wished (as in the case of Bear Sterns and Lehman in 2007 and 2008). But the moment you start to put your hands together to clap, immediately coming into the sight is a red-hot horific chain reaction , like a non-stoppable ever expanding crack shattering the very foundation of the interconnected modern societies.
Your son and daughter just turn to 5 and 7. Your wife/hubby insists to move into a decent area with highly ranked schools. But in your accounts you have only 200K savings. Even without the housing bubble, a decent single-family house would cost $500K there, say. But where to get the other $300K? as nobody is willing to lend in a market post financial sunami. Or luckily someboday is indeed willing to lend you, but will charge 25% of APR given all the fiancial uncertainties out there! Shoot them! these bastards! 哦厚厚厚。除非俺們相信共產主義,有錢人從來都是唯利是圖!(起來,不原作奴隸的人們!)
OK, then you say, it's fine. We will just stay in our small apt, and send kids to the so-and-so schools. Then as time goes on, your 2001 Toyota Camera aged and ached. AC is not working in a hot summer day, and annual fixings cost $2000. Thus 你家領導又發話了:for the kids' sake, can we buy a new SUV, with much better safty ranking and mileage efficiency! OK, it costs $30K. You then say:
"Honey, I think we should hold off the purchase, as rumors spread that our campanies is gonna lay off next month: our IT company performs data analysis for a client, and this client works for Ford, but Ford (shoot them again!) is having a massive layoff, since no bank is willing to lend them money to continue their research on new models, and no bank is willing to extend the existing debt soon to be due..."
Now that you don't buy this or that, they (builders, car makers, etc) don't gain that or this. Thus come further layoffs, further credit and lending difficulties, and further chain reactions, into an economically dead cold ice age.
。。。
Thus you now 開始罵偶這個臭和尚:你是不是拿了不少WALL ST的好處啊!
偶摘下CONTACT LENS,甩一下灰舊的木棉枷紗,跟你翻個白眼:昔日[日照香爐生紫煙],今朝[人去樓空捐錢難]。廟裏也不好過呀!哦厚厚厚!
Down the Capitalism! Down the Consumption-driven modern economy! 哦厚厚厚!
