本日付けインデペンデント紙にシティで5000人が失業する可能性がある、との報道を受けて、下記を投稿。
___________________________________
The City's job nowadays is largely financial business for the sake of financial business, ie. serving the greed of the mega-rich gamblers, being of little use to the general public. Financial business as means to exploit the less advantageous is purely evil. Anyway 5,000 job loss sounds like an unrealistically optimistic esimation, given the magnitude of what is unfolding. One zero may well be missing.

You think the guys taking $2-3m bonuses per year for the last three years are concerned?
As for little use to the general public, the City is the only real income source the UK has now. You may well hate us but you cant live without us.
Mega-rich gamblers? Or maybe your pension fund. Or the funding mechanisms that have allowed research (not to mention the money) to let you enjoy the standard of living you currently enjoy.
I am a bear on the housing market and am worried about the social implications of it not being resolved but the attitudes of some of the people on this website are simply unreasonable, jealous and ugly and I am struggling to find anything more than anger that they have mis-judged the market. I only visit this site to see the opinions of, whom I thought, were like minded people. The more I read the more I realise why people ignore and deride you.
For the first time I have started to find myself happy that you guys (and I) have been proven wrong for so long because I am not sure some of the contributors have anything driving them other than jealousy. And that is just as ugly as the people profiting from it .I think its sad that some of you seem to be happy with the thought that some young family who in good faith have tried to make a stable home might end up in trouble with all this. But as long as it crashes and the evil rich kids get whats coming, thats fine by you.
I will not be visiting this site anymore. I hope the market goes the way you need it to but just be careful what you wish for.

The event that is shaking the world right now, may well change people's view of the financial business once and for all. 8-10% annual return at the cost of the most probable loss of the principal. CDOs and other derivatives schemes are all proving to be sheer cons under the guise of 'financial transactions' as a few (possibly quite a few) hedge funds along with their parent investment banks may well go under. Derivatives must be wholly banned, and the financial sector must be shrunk by 80%. Then GBP will plummet by 50%, hopefully inspiring a breath of life to the primary and secondary industries in the UK. Abnormally excessive dependence on the financial sector is simply unsound, distorting the value and culture of the nation.
Also there should be a legislation to forcefully retrieve the money pocketed as 'bonus and dividend' by those conmen (i.e. virtually all investment bankers, fund managers, etc), who defrauded the general public. Pension fund managers must pay back their management fees as they seriously breached their fiduciary duty by investing in subprime-CDO without checking its poisonous contents. This is what we call justice.
