"the money changers always win...the bloodier the better...both sides need to arm, eat and live"

Sinbob, are you trying to drive us into despair? As the great philosopher Johan Cruijff (actually he was a soccer player) said: each disadvantage leads to an opportunity.

Don't believe for a second that these money changers live a better life that the rest of them, which is us. Jamie will be exposed, Carney gets the worst job you can imagine in the world (Governor of the BOE, imagine) and the only thing that changes in our lives is that our wives will have to stop their senseless shopping and we can go for a smaller home, which we need anyway, since we are coming at age.

Great, I love it: back to basics and normal values ain't that bad. And we can always migrate to China to sniff some 50s style optimism.
