Is the big financial crisis getting rather boring?

Seeing as I was contracting in a bank in 2007 and 2008 that was hit by the whole thing and then bailed out, I've seen this tulip going on for about 5 years now. It's boring, it's dragging on too long and perhaps it's time to switch the whole system off, reset every field to '0' and reboot. Oh, but Mich, we can't do debt cancellation because that would create 'moral hazard' as if anybody in the banking business really understands the word 'moral'.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Interesting at the beginning but became a never ending tale that made me lose interest.
Lost was amazing all the way through. You just needed a bit of patience half way through and then it got better and better.....Comment

Boring? That's an idea. Since most of the massive drops in the market are about perception, maybe if everyone was so totally p*d off with it all they couldn't give a f* maybe that would stabilise the world economy.bloggoth

In a recession some very wealthy people make a lot of "money" in buying up cheap assets.
