The Year Was Long and Rich

Reflecting back on 2011, I want to punch calendars in the face. As of right now, as you read this, “The Fly” is losing coin. In a way, you can say I’ve squandered my recent successes via holding onto my hopium pipe. I smoke from this pipe and make outrageous declarations, while in robe, from my balcony. My neighbors ask me to tone it down and I retort by firing my bedroom cannon at them. The recoil from the battery nicks my furniture, pissing Mrs. Fly the fuck off.

I am in this war alone. Most of the people I know do stupid shit, like defend criminals in court or sell drugs through fancy offices. Wall Street is besmirched by the media and “main street” as an evil group of people doing fucked up shit to the economy while everyone sleeps. The truth of the matter is, it is YOU, main street, who fuck everything up, via your votes and spending patterns. You are degenerates, unable to manage a purse, let alone a $15 trillion economy.

You borrowed money from banks then walked away from your obligations when the value of your home went lower. Well, fuck me running sideways. I’d like to “walk away” from my LULU and RBCN investments and just forget about the whole ordeal. Oh, Mr. Congressmen, can I please just walk away from it and sue Morgan Stanley for recommending those stocks? You see, I’m a fucking idiot and I believed what the smart folks at Morgan said. I’d like my money back and another $500,000 for pain and suffering.

You cocksuckers on Main Street are a DISGRACE to the world. I see you little pigmies and I know how you think. While the apparatus on Wall Street is not perfect, we are leagues smarter than the fucktard who makes widgets in Somedumbfuck, Michigan.

Naturally out Prezident backs the zeroes because he’s never been a boss. It’s populism rum amuck and you’re all gonna pay for it, dearly, when your bullshit 401k plans hit zero.

    I’ve always wondered why The Fly wasn’t more criticle of the middle class. This post more or less echoes my own thoughts towards americans in general. We’ve had it way too good, and we’re totally oblivious to the fact that we live well outside of what can considered fiscally responsible.

    Very well said Sir Fly.

    1) Who forced the fuckin’ banks to write mortgages for deadbeats? And don’t say fuckin’ “Barney Frank and the FHA”

    2) Who forced the fuckin’ banks to bundle and sell shit mortgages, and who forced big banks and brokers to buy bundled shit and create derivatives on it?

    Blame WALL STREET, not Main Street.

      This is such a stupid debate, as obviously both MAIN STREET and WALLSTREET are at fault. Hence, why there were two parties to those transactions.

      WALLSTREET was nuts for loaning money to the kinds of uneducated monkeys you find in the lowest walks of life. Those people live in their own excrement – obviously they should have been made to do so in a one bedroom apartment run by a slum lord. They’re disgusting little rags who don’t deserve shit in life, for their stupidity.

      But saying that means they get a pass…come on, bullshit. They borrowed the money; you need to hold these animals to something or they’ll run wild and chuck feces at cops in New York. You have no business slandering WALLSTREET because they were propping up civilization and suddenly couldn’t support the weight any longer, even if they did live lavishly during the good times.

      The high school drop out and low income housing recipient are as much to blame for this fall by not paying their mortgages as the people who were dumb enough to think these kinds of people would ever amount to anything.

        I would imagine their credit is ruined and it becomes impossible to buy/rent anything in the near term until they can prove they are a low risk again. What should we do? throw them in a debtors prison?

        What was stopping a “high school drop-out” from walking away from a mortgage they couldn’t afford 10 years ago? They weren’t being approved 10 years ago! The easy money the fed created and government propaganda/ group think that everyone should own a home and that it will always increase in value are the biggest culprits

          I’m not advocating shit. I’m telling the “BLAME WALLSTREET” crowd to shut the fuck up.

          All of these arguments are akin to saying “don’t blame the dog for peeing in the house, blame the master.”

          “Master shouldn’t have trusted the dog. The man should clean up the mess.”

          Fair enough. Since a person is expected to own up for themselves when they behave badly, like pissing in the living room, then I will stop treating these men and women like people. They took money they couldn’t afford but they’re not responsible because they’re dumb animals.

          And they can sleep outside because that’s where dumb, filthy animals sleep.

            I understand what you’re saying and I agree with you that people need to be responsible for their actions regardless of circumstance. I disagree with you, that the blame wall st people need to STFU. They have valid points in that the corruption/greed on wall st had a part in the problem, look at countrywide

            when the master allows the dog to piss in the house for years unchecked, it is hard to blame the dog when he pisses on the bed

    I agree with you except who were the idiots who gave money to idiots expecting them to act differently than idiots? That is probably equally insane. You don’t give a guy smoking at a gas station firecrackers to play with and get mad when your gas station blows the hell up…

    Underestimating the degree of stupidity some people have isn’t easy, but failing to take into account the risks of enabling a bunch of bad credit people who never had nothing loans to buy 200k+ houses, and then buying up instruments and leveraging up the whole entire economy with them and trading them isn’t exactly “intelligent” either.

    “You borrowed money from banks then walked away from your obligations when the value of your home went lower.”

    This is the main reason “the independent” vote went for HOBOama.

    “Naturally ou[r] Prezident backs the zeroes because he’s never been a boss. It’s populism … you’re all gonna pay for it [in]… your bullshit 401k plans hit zero.”

    Since 2006, Pelosi, Dingy Harry and 2008’s HOBOama have been strangling America.

    Dodd-Frank, in addition to Abomination-Care needs to be repealed so Americans can run small biz again.

    All these laws do is piss off our allies, restrict citizen access to financial opportunity and criminalize poor people.
