"....delving in politics...."
I see this situation as being based purely upon an individual's greed factor and
(poor) judgment.....with a heavy dose of 'entitlement' added in. IMO,it's a rare
circumstance where the usual old elements of either politics or possibly even
religion aren't(or can't be conveniently) involved.......This (to me) is purely
human fukup; and while 'to error is human' as the old saying goes, this is markedly different because these individuals thought they'd found some sort of holy grail scheme to
quick,easy wealth,and,looked upon anyone else not doing the same as an
idiot or similar.....They'd found 'the way' to "having it all". There's a zillion variations
to how this was accomplished (in the short term),but the net result was the same
for them.
Bottom line-They played,they got caught,and now they're shitty, showing no signs
of accepting the fact that they're centrally to blame for what's upon them at this time.
That's the basis for my personal wrath-the lack of remorse-it confirms that they still
feel that living 2 levels above where they should have been(by disregarding those silly old concepts of having savings and owing as little as possible on commodities that depreciate,etc.,etc.) was/is the correct strategy,and now are 'entitled' once again
for help to get back to where they were....
What one generation forgets,the next one has to learn-the TV ads now herald in various 'new' concepts such as 'lay-away' purchasing, preparing meals at home,etc.,etc.,.These are touted about as being clever,responsible 'new' ways to
'get back on track'......the dumfuks still don't 'get it'......and likely never will.
