Watched Inside Job the Movie

After a busy day at work, many people wouldn’t have picked a documentary on the GFC to unwind to on a Friday night. However tonight, I did. Joined by my Dad, for the next 2hours of our life we were shocked and appalled at what we learnt. We both thought we had a fairly good understanding of the issues around the crisis, but what we failed to release is how far back the corruption started.

To think that a first world country could so be completely blind to what was occurring around them; to be so cocky and arrogant to think it wouldn’t catch up to them; and the audacity to pay performance bonuses to these criminals year after year proves to me that this world is a truly disgusting place to live.

Whilst other nations prevented with regulations what America allowed to happen since what appears to pre-date the Clinton administration tells me that money doesn’t not only buy taste but brains as well.

The smugness of these men’s faces repulsed me as well, especially when the questions were tricky and the evidence was stacked against them. Their suits must be made from material that cuts all emotion from reaching the heart, if one ever existed in the first place.

But it gets worse because do you want to know the most shocking thing you discover in this documentary? The fact that Obama selected the same men that caused this global recession in the first place, the very men that destroyed the entire globe’s economy, back into positions of authority in the government – or at the very least in advisory roles!

Someone needs to please explain to me how on earth this is possible, and what words or strategies could vommit out of the mouths of those men that could improve the situation of the world.
