Why is banking and todays economy so shit?

You could go to a proper ecconomist if you wanted to know the answer to this question but you've come here so you probably don't want to know the answer to this, in fact you are probably just me, reading back over this to check for spelling mistakes, and the fact that I think the impled reader is in fact myself, that kind of takes the pressure off me to write anything of any quality, this in turn will hopefully improve the quality of the work, which is kind of ironic... don't cha think?

The new years resolution to stop associating irony with Alanis Morrisette lasted one month and 19 days.

But we're not here to talk about Alanis, I am going to establish the reason for the spectacular collapse of the economy, even though I am not qualified to do so. I don't even know if the word economy is being spelled right, I think there is a possibility that economy actually has two c's in it; ie *Ecconomy*, I seriously don't know but I won't check as it will highlight how unqualified I am to discuss this.

The best place to start is the banks.



This man gives us some idea of where the money has gone, the banks have full control of most of the money in the world, when we get paid our shitty wages for working our shitty jobs that we hate our employer doesn't actually pay us, but pays our bank, which we have to have to get paid. Somehow this pointless middleman has become essential to our lives and we are excluded from mainstream society without a bank account. The man above is not very likeable but you have to admire his honesty, particularly when we are being bombarded with the idea that banks are our friend.



The shitty letters I get each month are either from a multicultural age spanning glee choir, or the other guy. Brilliant.

The other possibility is the government.







Blair spent so much time confusing us with with bizarre hand gestures that we didn't notice him spending all the nations money and starting shitloads of wars.
The current government seem to believe that it was the fault of the labour party for borrowing too much during their terms in power during the late 90s/early naughties; however, there are some people who remember that the government felt compelled to buy toxic debt of several banks so that peeople wouldn't lose their savings, this culminated in RBS and Northern Rock being bought out by blah blah blah blah BORING!!

Everyone is going on about this and they are so quick to place blame and it is all a little bit overwhelming, a little bit like the plot of the film 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'. And on comparing the modern economy to a John Le Carre novel (huge sense of unease in spite of the fact that you don't know what is going on, thinking that one person is the source of this confusing unease before thinking it is someone else, and lots of men in suits talking about things I don't understand.) It all starts to become clear. The economy is actually not real, like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, it is a man made construct.

Not even real, look at the attention to detail.

Like any work of fiction, if there was no downturn, conflict or hard times or some form of tension, there would be no point in watching it, and like any work of fiction, the writers of the economy know this, and thats why we have a recession... at least that is one of my theories.

So is it fair to compare the fictional economy to Tomas Andersson's spy thriller? Well no. You have to look furthr back to when the economy actually started, when it started it was a good novel idea, like the Tim Burton take on Batman, you take an idea from a comic book or the bartering system and you move on everyone is happy with the economy, gold and slaves and all that shit, but the writers of the economy run out of enthusiasm for the idea and subsequently it crashes, and before you know it, Arnold Schwarzenegger is playing the iceman and Joel Schumaker is directing it and it is fucking awful, or if we are talking about the economy, we are buying out banks and Arnold Schwarzenegger embarks on a political career and Joel Schumaker carries on directing films.



Although even this isn't a fair comparison of the economic downturn, if we were to compare the economy to any movie franchise it would have to be the Friday the 13th series, a film which the original wasn't very good, but that carried on and on and on and is still going today; in fact if you were to watch the latest Friday the 13th film, you would have to say it is the worst film ever. At the same time, many economists are saying that the current financial position is the worst ever. Which only makes my assertion that the Economy is fictional more obvious. So stop worrying about the economy and get out and watch a good film, go eat a pizza, illegally download an album you want to listen to, or even just stream it. worrying about the economy is like worrying about Eastenders. Pointless.
