So great…
Jason Flores-Williams at The Nation:
Investment bankers are some people’s ideal New Yorkers. They work twelve to fourteen hours a day. Their lives are completely centered around work. They rarely engage in political dissent, don’t raise hell and question very little, unless it affects their money. They earn on average $280,000 a year, so they can buy the townhouses and pay the punishing rents that force virtually everyone else out. They support expensive restaurants, bars, clothing stores, pet grooming and poop pick-up services that have turned once-unique New York neighborhoods into a soulless, upscale pukefest. These are the people who are happy to live in the Matrix and go along with the plan.
Love it. Read the rest.

Rollo Tomasi is the name for these people that the author is looking for. The people in the market, the investment bankers, the investment lawyers, the investment accountants, have been the ones who have been getting away with it for thirty years now. I don’t see anything wrong with a little schadenfraude. I’m also glad that these bastards, who contribute nothing to the world, and were educated at the very best schools, may, may, get their comeuppance. I don’t suspect that this will happen for too long, but lets revel in it for a while.
