...assuming the powers that be tell the treasury to fork it over. And yes, I'm well aware of Mark Cuban's watermelon and grape analogy.

As long as we get a repeat of 1932, I'm down for it. Rebooting the middle class for another 50 years would probably be worth a second Great Depression.
And the look on our grandkids' faces when we tell them no more smartphone in their lifetime would be priceless.

They did the bailout in order to try to stop 1929, when all they did was kick the can and print more fiat currency. Some are saying that the next crash will make 1929 look like a normal down day.
Also, one big difference between 1929 and today: Money back then was backed by gold. Today it's just a printing press that could result in hyper-stagflation, and that's how they bail them out.
One other thing is very true, though: For every transaction, there must be a buyer, and there must be a seller. Someone may have become VERY rich as a result of those market collapses.

This is a terrible admission of judging the book by its cover, but the instant I saw the author I lost all interest in reading it.

He's an irritainer on Air America or whatever that's called these days. He's better than Stephanie Miller, I suppose, but he always struck me as a charlatan with a smooth line of talk. A fraud who makes mouth noises I often agree with is still a fraud.

Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain
Exactly. I don't want to be the "priviledged child" I just want the child that f#*cked up and lost all his money to get the exact same treatment I get when I f#*k up and lose all my money. Not have the government angel come along and give him all his money back just so he can go and f#*k up all over again. See, maybe if these 1% banksters actually lost their own money when they destroy the global economy, they wouldn't be so quick to gamble with other people's money just to sate their greed for even more money.
And don't give me this crap about "needed to be done to avoid another Great Depression" Somehow, I have the feeling your average joe out here in the real world could struggle his way through it. It would be tough, sure, but it could be done. The Wall Street fat cat, when he loses all his money? Somehow, I have a feeling his skillset wouldn't be in too much demand. Pushing paper around doesn't scrounge you up a whole lot of bread. Most of them would have probably jumped out of their building anyway.
You wanna avoid the Great Depression? Instead of pouring billions into the banksters to shore up their ledgers, just give every man woman and child in the country $10,000. Would do just as much for the economy, and probably cost less.

Plea deal? Over-charge, get the cops to plea to the charge the prosecutor really wanted?

If/When that happens, I intend to be far from Baltimore.
I think they get off 100%. A good defense attorney is going to throw enough doubt into the equation that the jury will vote to acquit because of reasonable doubt. We all assume that OJ was guilty, but the defense outpointed the prosecution by a large margin.

I dread what the BLM crowd in MPLS will end up doing, given what they've done in the past.

Oh c'mon, I remember when Zimmerman was acquitted. There were predictions of mass riots, however rioting was minimal, and limited to the local area at most. I doubt it will spread.

Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain
It seems to me that the key aspect will be whether they are tried separately or as a group. If they are each tried separately, then the juries have to disregard the results of any of the other trials (I think, though I defer to the attorneys here), and then each one of them can say I was an innocent bystander, the others did it.
However, if the prosecutor can get them tried collectively, as one set of defendants, with one verdict to cover all of them together, that would be different. She'd have to find the highest common denominator that she thought could make stick, since they'd all be tried on the same charge(s).
Then of course there'd be a race by the least guilty to rat out the one(s) who actually were most culpable.
Or at least that's how Law & Order always worked....
