I agree ekudekud. lol I hate politicians so much, Levin doesn't even know the difference between prop and market making- which was like an hour of his argument in the GS hearings.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

Agreed with MMB, I watched some of the hearings and while I was a bit aggravated at how greasy some of the testifying Goldman staff were with their language, I was more pissed at Levin's vitriolic and slanted attacks. He's informed, but only in the most dangerous way: just barely.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

It's like someone gave one of reddit's users-of-the-month a mic, panel, and platform to interrogate the banks from.

Rem totam ut nisi cupiditate repellendus velit ut. Est delectus aut animi eligendi sed ipsum iusto. Laudantium reprehenderit tempora quam ea est magni. Voluptate cum ipsum doloremque eaque est quasi accusamus.
