The things he lists to justify calling Wall Street that are real, however:
"
When I see, for example, that you’re making millions by laundering drug-cartel money (HSBC), or pushing bad paper on mutual fund managers (AIG, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, Citibank), or preying on low-income borrowers (Bank of America), or buying votes in Congress (all of the above) – just business as usual on Wall Street – while I’m barely making ends meet
"
So I wouldn't call it lazy when he flat out listed what they are doing to get put in that gangster category.
- bbcbasic 10y agoGlass houses. Monsanto. Mc Donalds. Uber. .... Not just wall street doing unethical stuff so why pick on them and call them gangsters?
- nico_h 10y agoMaybe because they made their money playing with imaginary numbers and caused huge amounts of harm to the economy and lots of people when it all blew up in their face?
- bbcbasic 10y agoAnd the harm obesity is causing? Arguably just as bad.
- nico_h 10y agoIn theory you could can alter your diet and exercise regimen (not easy but doable). Good luck getting a pension fund or a mortgage not affected by the stock markets these guys blew up.
- witty_username 10y agoThat is true of most fraud.
