Yahoo! news sucks so bad, they even invite people to write op. eds. for free in the hope they’ll be worse than their own journalism and so take the slings and arrows. Well, they’re usually better written than Yahoo!’s news articles, but they’re also usually even more laughable and biased, so I guess the editorial staff knew what they were doing. The funny thing is, if Yahoo! news would just proofread their pieces once in a while, and stop littering this site with agenda-driven claptrap, they wouldn’t need a voluntary lightning rod for criticism to obscure their own unprofessional bias and vapidity! (After all: it’s not like we don’t see their limitations anymore! Just look at the comments section of any of their in-house news items: most of it bashes the story or the author, so you’d think they’d try to fix that problem first, but whatever. Maybe they don’t read the comments.)
So here we have an example of the fruits of Yahoo!’s plan: an article written by a Wall Street employee who just doesn’t understand why people are mad at them. And in a way, she’s right: The people responsible for the corruption on Wall Street that caused the, you know, WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, are just a handful of people, really. And they got away with it because of the corruption in our government, who wants campaign cash above all else so they can get re-elected. But the rest of the people on Wall Street, while greedy and sociopathic and all, aren’t really in the position to have actually perpetrated the crimes we’re all suffering for. (Not that they wouldn’t have, had they been in the position to do so; it’s just that they weren’t, and so they didn’t.)
But she says that the “Monster they call Wall Street” may even be your neighbor. And that’s convenient, because when a big bank fraudulently robo-signs your foreclosure, you can ask if you can crash on their couch. It’s only neighborly to help, after their industry has been so callous and criminal, right? So next time, when you find out your neighbor works for Wall Street, ask them to help you when Wall Street screws you over. After all, they’re only human like you, and so they’re sure to have compassion for you. Right?
