"We Are An Image From The Future"
While researching for a text I'm writing, I thought of this book about the insurrections in Greece 2008 and what do you know: it's available on archive.org:

Lots of very interesting articles about that time ... like this one about the supermarket expropriations, which I will always have a soft spot for.

#Trump and #Musk Pushing to Gut #CFPB as 'Payoff to the Rich Guys'

All this talk suddenly of maybe getting rid of the FDIC takes me back to the financial crisis of 2008. In 2009, reflecting on that, I wrote a brief parable, Hollow Support.

The "Big 3" credit rating agencies - #Moody's, #SP & #Fitch - are considered more culpable than #JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon for the #FinancialCrisis2008, because, while Mr. Dimon seemingly loves concealing #WallStreet &/or #Washington financial blunders, the Big 3 convinced the #American public to invest in shady financial instruments.

Us (hopefully): Can we fix it?
#tories: Why? Everything’s tickety-boo. We and all our mates are doing fine.
#labour: Yes but we are not going to tell you about how until you vote us in to power and then decide we can’t.
DIY SOS: Don’t look at us. Nobody wants to volunteer to try and fix that shit-show.
Bob The Builder: Nah. It’s fucked!
