The reason this matters is quite simple: Healthy societies have modest,
but
not extreme wealth and income inequalities. There are inequalities because
not everyone has the same skills and capabilities, and some inequality in
wealth and income provides an incentive system.
However, massive, widely disparate economic inequality has historically
led
to bad and in some cases, extremely bad outcomes. It contributes to
social unrest, excessive political populism, and mob violence.
I write this as someone who, due to a fortuitous combination of luck and
work, developed a skill set that is highly valued by modern society. This
is in part to an accident of birth, to have an excellent education, to some
serendipity. Overcoming some adversity didnt hurt; figuring out how to turn
some deficits to an advantage was hugely beneficial. Thus, I find myself
in that top 1% economically; but I know deep down in my soul that if I was
born 100 years earlier and maybe even 30 years earlier I would not have
been. This makes me acutely aware of the risks and dangers of our current
wide disparity of wealth and income.

I am no longer convinced of this.
I now believe they some combination of heavy metals or other pollutants
has
somehow rendered the judgment centers of their brain inoperative. They
function in ways indistinguishable from other human beings, except when
it
comes to anything involving judgment. This includes complex mathematics,
a
new or unusual fact pattern, or simply something that conflicts with prior
experience. It is beyond them.
If they are not clueless, then the alternative conclusion is that they are
liars (a third possibility is they are developmentally disabled i.e., high
functioning morons but I doubt that). That conclusion is based on an
October 9th editorial, from whence the above quote was derived.
As has been widely circulated and discussed in the media, Man’s home sold
out from under him in foreclosure mistake. The gentleman in question DID
NOT HAVE A MORTGAGE.
If that is not substantive error, then WTF is?
I reiterate, and cannot stress enough
Bank of America announced that it has discovered a few trivial,
easily-remedied technical problems with some of its mortgages. “We will
stop foreclosure sales in some states until our assessment has been
satisfactorily completed, or until the politicians whom we have compensated
so generously do their damn jobs and get rid of those pesky laws and rights
that are slowing us down. Our ongoing assessment shows the basis for
foreclosure decisions is accurate, except in those few regrettable cases
where we repossessed a house that actually had no mortgage on it
whatsoever-hey, nobody’s perfect, ha ha,” a Bank of America spokescreature
said. “It’s really quite a lot of trouble to verify the address before
we
take someone’s house,” the spokescreature continued. “Comparing addresses
on two documents slows us up by a good fifteen seconds. After all, we have
a lot of houses to foreclose on. Anyway, many of those people actually
do
owe money to us, or to somebody, anyway. I know it is a bit confusing to
citizens when our competitor HSBC and another bank simultaneously try to
foreclose on the same property, especially when they are in a federal
foreclosure prevention program. It’s sort of like one of those programs
on
Animal Planet where each hyena grabs a leg of the still twitching gazelle
and tries to pull it away from the other hyenas. But that’s the way nature
works-nobody asks those hyenas petty-minded questions about whether title
to the gazelle was properly transferred, and to which hyena, and whether
the title was properly notarized by an authorized local cheetah. Sometimes
a company just has to sink its fangs into a customer, lock its jaws, which
can exert a pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch, brace its legs, yank,
and see what tears loose. If we get the wrong gazelle, we will make every
effort to compensate it for our erroneous gnawing, bone-crushing, and
marrow-sucking.”
“It appears that some of our process servers may not have actually served
the owners with notice of our intent to foreclose. But, honestly, wouldn’
t
warning them make it a whole lot harder to catch them? It is a myth that
hyenas giggle and cackle before they attack. Actually, they are usually
quite silent until they get close enough to bite. On the Serengeti, due
process means that the gazelle runs as fast as it can and the pack keeps
ripping small chunks off until the gazelle collapses due to shock and blood
loss and inability to pay for a lawyer. There may have been some trivial,
unimportant problems with the relevant documents, but we are confident that
many of those gazelles really did owe us money, and we believe that our
ripping them into pieces, digesting them, and regurgitating their horns
and
hooves is ecologically sound and generally in accord with the law of
nature. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I will have to go mark the boundaries
of
my pack’s territory with the musk from my anal scent gland. We don’t
want
other hyena packs like J.P. Morgan invading our turf. That could be a real
mess-those guys know how to sink their fangs in, and they know how to break
down the door of a house and change the locks even when they haven’t
foreclosed on the property.”
Asked for comment, a J.P. Morgan spokesperson said, “We have no interest
in
invading the grasslands turf of Bank of America or HSBC because we are not
hyenas. We are amphibious apex predators, and our preferred mode of
foreclosure is to lurk underwater by the bank of a river. When a gazelle
or a wildebeest sticks its muzzle in the water, we surge upward and, um,
serve papers on it, or something. Or grab a leg and go into our famous
death roll, spinning and thrashing until the leg comes off. Then we like
to take the borrower’s corpse up-river for a few days of what we in the
mortgage business call ‘seasoning’. We would also like to remind you
puny,
pathetic citizens that we can grow to twenty-three feet long, we can gallop
at up to seventeen miles per hour for short distances, we have maintained
our distinctive business culture successfully since before dinosaurs
evolved, we have thick dorsal osteoderms which are hard to penetrate even
with an axe, and we are much more biologically complex than other reptiles:
unlike them, we have features like a cerebral cortex and a four-chambered
heart, and many of us have Ivy League degrees. We recommend that AMBAC
and
Pimco think carefully about all of these features before trying to push
their mortgage-backed securities back onto our balance sheet. As for any
legislators or prosecutors who might be thinking about going after us, we
have very slow metabolisms. We can submerge for an hour and go for months
without eating. We will outwait you and probably eventually hire you as
a
lobbyist. We would also like to note, though, that we are not without
compassion. We honor our prey and weep for it: do you see the large tears
rolling out of our eyes and down our scaly cheeks? You probably thought
crocodile tears were a mere myth or proverb, but we do in fact have
lachrymal glands that secrete a proteinaceous fluid. Crying has an
important place in our corporate culture: it lubricates our eyes and cleans
our nictitating membranes.”
The Senate and the House, with remarkable foresight, have
already passed HR 3808, a bill to facilitate the sharing of taxpayer
carcasses across state lines. The bill’s sponsor, Representative Robert
Aderholt, an Alabama Republican, said, “It is important to ensure that
multiple species of predators can efficiently divide a taxpayer carcass
and
transport pieces of it from one waterhole to another.” David Axelrod,
an
advisor to President Obama, said, “We originally planned to sign it, but
we
are less than a month away from elections, and many gazelles and springboks
seem to be agitated about this issue, so we decided to table it for now.
We have complete confidence, though, in our ability to find some swift,
quiet resolution of this problem after the election.” Secretary of
Predation Timothy Geithner added, “I think we can all agree that our
nation’s highest priority is to ensure a steady and increasing flow of
protein to our apex predators. Crocodiles and hyenas are actually very
delicate creatures, and any regulatory interference with their feeding
habits could have a catastrophic effect on the entire ecosystem.” Despite
their superficial differences, both parties fervently agree on the crucial
importance of making life easier for apex predators.

Hey fans! Springtime is for lovers. And I think I have a new crush! The

But DQR doesn’t stop at good enough. Through the end of the month, all
Mini Blizzard Treats are only $1.99 at participating locations! $1.99? Now
I’m really getting weak in the knees. Well, gotta run. No, Caramel Toffee
