Why are they saying bad things about bizness
You may recall "Baghdad Bob", a luckless PR sod for the old Iraqi regime. He was videoed saying that there were no Americans within 200 km of Baghdad, while US tanks could be seen driving by right behind him. Gotta nominate him for some high honor like "most ignorant of the facts". But he'd lose to JL. In the above link JL hits it out of the park. He has the immaculate cluelesness and poor timing-- the same month that the economy went blooey, thanks in great part to dark shadowy nefarious business folks, JL is moaning about how unfair it is to paint business folks as, well, dark shadowy nefarious types.
JL did not get the memo regarding how the whole point of bizness is to grab, pull, coerce, suck, and dredge as much money out of everyone. Oh, it's okay, as it's their fiduciary duty to the shareholders. That absolves them of every economic sin, including sending four credit cards a week to every biological entity in the country with a heatbeat. Not to mention the bankers taking their up-front closing costs while burdening the common folk with unsustainable mortgages. Why, those are not Robber Barons, they're just creative financiers. How unfair to portray them without halos and wings.
I tell ya, you just can't make up stuff like this. Good thing it just pours out of JL like clockwork.
