The banks are run by citizens and funded by citizens. So when the banks "fuck up", it's going to end up on those same citizens. There is no way to isolate losses to some "bank" entity.
- ux500 14y agoYes! Socialized losses and privatized profits! It's "capitalism"!
- angersock 14y agoEr, I'd be rather surprised if some of the banking entities were not established by foreigners and monies not actually coming from their country of operation. Hell, Harris Bank in Chicago is owned by Bank of Montreal--so, unless I'm grossly misunderstanding the situation, it would be entirely possible for Canadian executives to set policies that could affect clients in the US. That's not those citizens' faults. I think you have an incorrect view here.
