but, see, that's like the crux of it...if you want to focus on some
impersonal process that's fine, i guess, "manufacturing follows lower
wages" or "deregulation allowed bankers to externalize their losses
and keep their profits" but that's kinda ho-hum

honestly the massive douchebaggery of it and its perpetrators -- the
unnecessity of it, the settling for being rich pricks when they (as
Fleetwood Vibe w/r/t the diamond thief) could've done [so many better
things, almost][my addition] anything) is what's most impressive -
breathtaking even...

the kind of epic fail you study so as to never ever come close to
acting anything like the subjects
