Suite Deal for Citigroup

guillotine1

I can’t possibly improve on the title CBS provided for this video.

How completely tone-deaf and detached from objective reality are these people? Whatever the long-term financial justifications there may be for this project, the timing and optics are, by any measure, just catastrophically awful.

Maybe it’s time to erect a gleaming bronze guillotine next to this iconic figure on Wall Street. If Ariely’s findings hold any water, maybe it will have a chastening effect on these avaricious bastards.

  1. It’s an increasingly attractive option. If anything, it’s possibly too humane. Perhaps a more cruel retribution would be fitting in this instance.

    Horses may be involved…

  2. The U.S. has a corporate aristocracy that is really no different than the one in old Europe including the same belief that they have a divine right to their wealth, status and power.

    The U.S. can go in one of two directions: the French/Russian Revolution path which will be bloody, violent and risks resulting in a society that is even more dysfunctional, or they may follow the Scandinavian/Benelux path where the aristocracy realized the jig was up and handed over power peacefully.

    It will be interesting to see where which path it goes down.

  3. Scandinavian/Benelux! Scandinavian/Benelux!

    Yes! Please! Having visited EU frequently, I’d say most of the Northern European (welfare states – according to Harper) systems are better than the US model. Imagine medicare, drug care, daycare, nannies and homecare, etc., etc…

    One can dream…
