I find it funnily ironic that you’re advising the bankrupt finance capital corporations to “suck it up”. You’re such a feminist! It just immediately made me think of patriarchal denial of the emotions.

Just a comedic point I thought was worth making.
]]>“Not one damned dime from workers’ pockets to Wall Street. Period. End of political program.”
A-friggin’-men.
However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…
“The Federal Reserve will pump an additional $630 billion into the global financial system, flooding banks with cash to alleviate the worst banking crisis since the Great Depression.
“The Fed increased its existing currency swaps with foreign central banks by $330 billion to $620 billion to make more dollars available worldwide. The Term Auction Facility, the Fed’s emergency loan program, will expand by $300 billion to $450 billion. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan are among the participating authorities.
“The Fed’s expansion of liquidity, the biggest since credit markets seized up last year, came hours before the U.S. House of Representatives rejected a $700 billion bailout for the financial industry. The crisis is reverberating through the global economy, causing stocks to plunge and forcing European governments to rescue four banks over the past two days alone.”
So before the House vote was even taken, the central banksters had already taken it upon themselves to quietly initiate their own bail-out plan and inflate the currency even more to hell than they already have. This will most likely mean even higher prices and an even harder squeeze on working people in the months and years to come, all in order to achieve the same aim as the bailout bill, which is to save the state-capitalist plutocracy from its own craven greed and stupidity. The bailout bill would have made things even worse, to be sure, but it’s important to keep in mind that the squeeze is still on. It’s just happening in the more subtle form of currency inflation…global currency inflation, which will no doubt lead to an even bigger bust somewhere down the road.
The further down the economic ladder you are when that bust happens, the harder it’s going to be for you.
