Of millions, billions and trillions and still pouring in In perfect alignment with human nature, it took brutal bludgeoning to trigger
the intervention of rescue missions well after massive damages, and certainly
not of the so-called collateral type, were already happening. Agreed, the blood
spill will continue for a while. there exists no past reference equal to the
present time global crisis, and, the ones who will intend to resolve the mess we
are all in are certainly people of strong determination. What will thus be the
outcome of November 15th when world leaders of the g8 and g5 groups
meet to debate about putting the world back on its feet? Leaving aside cultural
differences and potential diplomatic incidents of any kind, one key word is
likely to remain high on the agenda : profit. As to how it will be redefined,
some leaders are likely to choke on such an oxymoron as ethical profit while
others in good faith may grasp the moment to put another word higher up on the
agenda: regulation. The kind that already exists having been blatantly ignored
by a vast majority, new rules will certainly emerge and become even more
confusing by the time they are translated, and itemized on an even longer time
table that no one will really want to abide by and that will necessitate more
world leaders meetings. Another plethora of unconventional words, --
independence, , control, fundamentals, diligence, monitoring,- and the likes --
will get gold medal status and prodigal sons, aka hedge funds, rating agencies,
speculators, will get serious reprimand and, little else. As for the eccentrics,
-- golden parachutes, stock options, overblown bonuses-- they will get what they
deserve, a cold shoulder, and be left alone for each nation to choose whether to
remove them or not. out of the good, the bad and the ugly , a new who’s who is
about to be re-written. How long will it last prior to being reviewed, disputed,
and put aside ? yet we are running out of time... |
