That cartoon is lampooning the MBS pooling that let agencies rate bundles of loans as AAA even though all the underlying securities were more risky. Bundling actually does reduce risk, but in the case of the mortgage meltdown of 2008 it wa

It's an american joke, my apologes for both using a cultural reference and making a pretty snarky comment. A more "HN-spirited" comment would have been: You aren't speaking from any real authority or experience, and your 5 paragrap
