I've been reading CNBC lately and it just makes me want to toss a brick at something how out of touch the financial world seems to be with reality. Like they just don't care what happens, how bad things get in this country, how fucked we are as a species, how many people die, just as long as their tax cuts materialize and the markets keep churning upwards.

It already is.

That piss running down your hair comes from $5000/bottle champagne, only the finest debasing humiliation for Americans.

Oooh, you meant into your pockets! Well, erm...look, a distraction!
