Financial crisis caused by too many bankers taking cocaine
28 replies, posted
[quote] Prof Nutt said that too many bankers who took the drug were “overconfident” and so “took more risks” and said that not only did it lead to the current crisis in this country, but also the 1995 collapse of Barings bank.
He said cocaine was perfect for their "culture of excitement and drive and more and more and more", adding: “Bankers use cocaine and got us into this terrible mess. It is a 'more' drug." [/quote]

money gives hookers and coke, therefore happiness
[quote]He was sacked as the Government’s most senior drugs advisor in 2009 after publishing a paper saying that there was "not much difference" between the harm caused by riding and ecstasy.[/quote]
Ecstasy is just about as dangerous as horse riding, think of it.
If y' dunno what you're doing either way, you can get majorly fucked up; getting kicked by the horse, bunk pills.
I don't think he's understating the risks of mdma but showing how the risks of horse riding tend to be understated
[quote]He was ordered to apologise by the then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who accused him of trivialising the dangers of taking drugs.[/quote]
The amount my face contorted sarcastically from this statement has caused lasting damage, I think.
Some have said cocaine is the drug of greed.
Better pay their saliries in food stamps so we can be sure they aren't wasting our tax money

short-term happiness, until the coke fucks over your heart.
my experience with cocaine backs up this claim.
1 line and i was already making risky investments
2 lines and i was handing out subprime mortgages and selling them off to banks
It also is a great tool for dampening your empathy, and speeding up your work rate.

Why is this even a stock image.
I mean what market is this appealing towards to sell.
Like we all didn't already know Jamie Dimon and his buddies at Goldman and BoA were snorting coke day and night as they ruined the world's economy.

There's a stock image for everything nowadays.

You'd think they would pick something more dangerous being the big risk takers who deserve all their money and all.

Forced apologies are dumb, if you made a mistake and you realised you did the wrong thing, then apologies are great, if you spoke an unpopular opinion that you believe or you believe you did the right thing then it's just stupid forcing them to apologise.
