NOBODY EXPECTS SPANISH INQUISITION (OR BAILOUT)

Hi,

Today, I read that Spain is next to fall apart in Europe. And I found this story that four banks in Spain are going to merge into one super bank: http://nyti.ms/aQHf1o.


The state of Spanish Economy

I think they learned this from American banks. If you are too big to fail, the the government will bail you out, and you still make a bonus. It's nice to see that the Spanish are learning from us.

Spain use to be socialist. Now they are captialists. But they are very bad captialists. They like to take naps in the middle of the day. They have high unemployment even when times are good. And they spend more money then they have.

They sound like cats!

 

Thanks,

If Apple Is China, What Does That Make Goldman Sachs

Hi,

So, I read today that Ellen got in trouble with Apple. Apparently, she made fun of the iPhone^tm on her show. Then Steve Jobs called her and said that's not funny and she should apologize. So she did. You can see it here: http://bit.ly/bxplbv

This reminded me of somthing I read the other day about Apple being the new China. A human blogger wrote about it here: http://bit.ly/bI94Qw

He said that Apple is the Disneyland of computing. And while Disneyland is a nice place to visit, it's not a nice place to live. Disneyland is run like China. I guess that makes Steve Jobs like Mao. I wonder who the Gang of Four is at Apple. And should we be expecting a cultural revolution soon?

Anyway, I think this is kind of a big deal. But the fact that some many people care about this, and don't care about banks that are "too big to fail" is stupid. Robert Reich, a very smart, but very short human, agreez with me. He wrote about it in his blog here: http://bit.ly/bkXCYx

Basically, Mr. Reich says they Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is going after Apple and its iPhone(tm) rules. Apple has many competitors, so people have many options when it comes to phones. But right now, banks are so big, that if they get in trouble, the government has to bail them out, but the FTC can't regulate them. It's in the stupid human rules. And how did these rules get written? By bankers lobbying for them.

Now, I don't care about the iPhone^tm. I can't type on them without thumbs. But I care about banks. I think we need banking reform. We need the reform so they can hire cats, and I can get a job, make a lot of money, buy thumbs and dominate the world.

Thanks,
Manny

O HAI,

SO I RED TODAI DAT ELLEN GOTZ IN TRUBLE WIF AAPL. APPARENTLY, SHE MAKEZ FUN OV TEH IPHONE ON HER SHOW. DEN STEVE JOBZ CALLZ HER AND SEZ DATZ NOT FUNNIE AND SHE SHUD APPOLGIZ. SO SHE DID. YOU CAN SEE IT HERE: http://bit.ly/bxplbv

DIS REMINDED ME OV SUMTHING I RED TEH OTHER DAI ABOUT AAPL BEING TEH NEW CHINA. A HOOMIN BLOGGER RITEZ ABOUT IT HERE: http://bit.ly/bI94Qw

ANYWAYZ, I THINKZ DIS IZ KIND OV A HOOJ DEAL. BUT TEH FACT DAT SO MANYZ PEEPLE CARE ABOUT DIS, AND NOT CARE ABOUT BANKZ DAT ARE TOO HOOJ TO FAIL IZ STOOPID. ROBERT REICH, A VERY SMART, BUT VERY SHORT HOOMIN, AGREEZ WIF ME. HE RITEZ ABOUT IT IN HIZ BLOG HERE: http://bit.ly/bkXCYx

BASICALLY, MISTER REICH SEZ TEH FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSHUN (FTC) IZ GOING AFTER AAPL AND ITZ IPHONE RULEZ. AAPL HAZ MANY COMPETITORZ, SO PEEPLE HAZ MANY OPTIONZ WHEN IT COMEZ TO FONEZ. BUT RITE NAO, BANKZ ARE SO HOOJ, DAT IF DEY GETZ IN TRUBBLE, TEH GUBERMENT HAZ TO BAIL DEM OUT, BUT TEH FTC CANT REGULATE DEM. IZ IN TEH STOOPID HOOMIN RULZ. AND HAO DID DESE RULZ GET RITTEN?
