It was U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s candor which famously described his test in an obscenity trial (“…I know it when I see it,”) when arguments were posed as to why something did, or did not, meet the threshold exceeding the Roth test. Today, the obscenity as to just how adulterated the very fabric of the financial markets have become was ripped clean and laid bare for all to see this past week.
The markets were sent screaming first down, then up, by nothing more than some economic two-bit fantasy both during, and after, the latest ECB’s monetary dictates. These perversions are so visibly adulterating they can no longer be denied by anyone with a modicum of business, or common sense. They are both fiscally and economically disgusting perversions. Period.
As shameful as this has become, what’s just as disgraceful is the cohort of so-called “smart people” arguing why not only is all this trash good, but also, giving detailed explanations of economic theories, equations, formulas, extrapolations, causation, blah, blah, blah as to explain the nuances of it all. I have just one statement for the so-called “smart crowd.” Please stop it. You are now not only embarrassing yourselves ever the more (if it were even possible at this stage) You are now annoying everyone with any decency of what free markets are supposed to represent. You’ve gone past the once laughable stage to the outright vulgar. So please – spare us.
Today’s Ph.D’s within the Ivory Towers of academia, along with their minions throughout Wall Street, have shown they are nothing more than a gaggle of fantasy enablers and promoters as to perpetuate the delusion that there will be financial ecstasy in the end. Just like there always is for the “whomever” that knocks on the door in all those adult movies. Problem here is: this is the world economy they’re screwing with. Not the entertainment industry.
