Out there on the road today. Lots of news about Barclay's Bank. More corporate fuckery and no one going to jail. Oh yeah, they paid a fine.
This morning's Post talks of Glaxo getting fined over 3 (yeah three) billion (yep! BILLION) bucks for fraud. Rumor has it that the raked in thirty-six BILLION on the sale of the aforementioned drugs (for those of you un-challenged by the math, thats 10%). Some penalty. Why hasn't a judge said, ..."oh yeah, in addition to the money, have three of your officers, four directors and 10 stockholders here on Tuesday and have them bring their toothbrushes." The next thing these "job creators" get to hear is ... this is Snake, your cellmate."
A CRIME has been been committed. Doesn't anybody have to pay a penalty ?? Money (a "fine' for those of you paying attention) isn't a penalty, it's an expense. Maybe the kids selling dope on the corner should incorporate and then just pay a fine, eh ??
Then there's Bank of Amerika; and you wonder why your CD pays .55% ???? How many of these assholes are going to get a bonus this year (betcha don't have enough fingers, eh ??).
J P Morgan Chase might have lot nine billion bucks of other people's money.
What's it going to take for all the folks that know better to know better ??
Corporations ain't fuckin' people. Currently, they are fuckin' people - - and the fuckees are you and me, neighbor. What are we gonna run out of first ...... lamp posts or rope ??? And when ????
