Accidentally Released Documents Show How Goldman et al Engaged in Naked Short S

But if you did that then who would you get to do the job?

I doubt anyone else would want it.

Accidentally Released Documents Show How Goldman et al Engaged in Naked Short S

It explains why banks' opening hours are at most equal to everyone else's office hours

Quite the opposite. If psychopaths were making decisions on bank branch opening hours most branches wouldn't be open at all as they are no longer cost effective. The financial costs of maintaining a presence on the High Street far outweigh the income from the business the banks would lose if they closed.

. . .they will usually take the option in which everyone loses

No, they don't. Most of the time the banks make an effort to re-negotiate mortgages to get their money back. It's just that those stories don't make it to the front page of the tabloids so most people don't know that the re-negotiating is going on.

Most people also don't consider that the "bankers" getting bonuses aren't necessarily the same people who were responsible for the financial melt-down. Lumping all people who work in the financial sector into a group labelled as "bankers" and treating them all as though they were responsible for the mistakes of a small percentage of their group isn't very helpful.

Cheers

Jeremy
