As Europe teeters on the edge of the abyss. Keep in mind this is a financial institution not some right or left pundit. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/bring-out-your-dead- ubs-quantifies-costs-euro-break-warns-collapse-ban king-system-and-civil-war and one from a politician.... http://www.rootforamerica.com/webroot/blog/2011/09 /06/gold-3000-obama-0/ | ||

You can’t put a “community activist” who has never run a business, created a job, or made a payroll, and has only one talent- reading teleprompters- in charge of the world’s biggest economy. This story was always going to end badly. That one was easy to predict. lolz | ||

End badly for whom, Slicker? You seem to imply that destroying Western Capitalism and world leadership might not be desired by The One. Remember Hope and Change? Now what do you think he was hoping for? | ||

Keep in mind this is a financial institution not some right or left pundit. Isn't UBS the laughing stock of the financial world right now? | ||

It ain't good for UBS. Kinda curious on how and where this one will play out. I'm waiting to see if they will fall like many of the others have. | ||

UBS won't fall. The $2,000,000,000 represented about 1/4 a years profits. I'll bet you can expect some changes. Hopefully government will keep their nose out of it. I'd bet the shareholders will need no help demanding some internal reforms. | ||

"Hopefully government will keep their nose out of it." They won't. They can't help themselves. 80% of them have never cracked an economics textbook, but they sure know how to pass laws. | ||

Its obvious this guy hasnt read Marx. He cant even get the basic principals of the Dialectic correct. And yes, it was always going to end badly - it is what his puppet masters are planning - look for a new currency prior to 2016; and a collapse of the 'popular' vote elections. Right in line with their 'understanding' of the short version of the Red Oktober. Dipshiates are reading somebody's happy philosophy notes about Marxism, they should be looking at history and economics of it; a smart one would avoid repeating the failure of the USSR - this guy - not so much, he is ramping up the chapter headings of Lenin's What is to be Done - without reading the verse and studying the reprecusions - you think now is bad.... you havent seen anything yet - wait til the purges click in - and they will - they have to. | ||

City, Alinsky wasn't big on dissecting Marx or Lenin. He simply used the tools of the lie ( dialectic ) to empower the softer revolution of get inside and change from within. ( Known as Progressive, aka neo Communism, aka tax and spend to destruction ) I'd be very surprised if Obama has not read marx. ( I certainly had by the time he hit high school, and I bet he had to read it by the end of prep school ) However, just as later verses of the Koran ( that's how I learned to spell it, blame the Englishman who first translated it ) override the instructions of earlier verses, would not the teaching of the One True Faith of Marx also not grow and change as later teachers twist the Lie into new, more pleasing shapes? ( to fool the ignorant ) Is that not the very basis for Progressivism? The new brand name on the new aristocracy? ( after of course, the elimination of the die hard Capitalists ) Those who pay attention already know ( and others will always refuse to believe...until it's too late ) | ||

just a dump proletarian here, but who was it out-sourced so many jobs to CHINA over the last decade, was it Capitalists or was it Labor? I can't remember which one is the bourgeoise, maybe they did it? | ||
| Aesquire |
I always assume I'm bourgeoisie. Or am I supposed to want to be bourgeoisie? Terms applied to ancient ( over a hundred years, now ) class divisions in a different culture don't really apply to the US. No matter how much the leftists ( and probably ultra rightists ) wish it were so. The US never had the class structure of Europe and the Medieval Feudal systems. We all were assumed to be yeoman, free men who gather to defend the land as citizen soldiers and conduct our affairs with one another as equals. While not perfect, it's as close as any have come. True the millionaires who also seek ego fulfilling power, like Kennedy, Obama, Pelosi ( married into wealth ) Kerry ( ditto ) Try to impose an outdated elitist system, but really, only the old media and the self appointed elite buy into that. The rest of us just consider them a little nuts, but do enjoy the parades. | ||

What category to the big corrupt labor unions fit into?  Who was it that chose to open free trade in America to communist China? What role did the situation in Hong Kong play? | ||
