If it isn't directly affecting her, it can't be all that bad. She still has a job, so unemployment figures can't possibly be bleak. The banking system isn't flawed - she went to business school with some of the people who run it and they were swell "chaps." It's an incredibly juvenile way to view the world.Clever Pseudonymnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-89825273711489701962009-10-28T12:58:26.855-05:002009-10-28T12:58:26.855-05:00I've just read about two dozen articles today ...I've just read about two dozen articles today that outline how deep our difficulties are in the US. Reading McArdle is an unreal experience in comparison. She's on a different planet. She has no clue. <br /><br />Is every age this bizarre, contradictory, violent, ironic and deeply funny? I guess they are. Which makes me more convinced than ever that the only thing that counts is how we treat each other.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-54390441619370294142009-10-28T12:34:14.623-05:002009-10-28T12:34:14.623-05:00Shorter Megan: How this issue relates to me, me, ...Shorter Megan: How this issue relates to me, me, me. Aren't I brilliant for pointing out that people use large banks because they're convenient? Did I mention that I'm getting married?<br /><br />Wait: "there's a Citibank branch that can help e out," so I guess I should write "how this issue relates to e, e, e."<br /><br />And yesterday she wrote the words "public auction" when she clearly meant "option." She literally makes these types of mistakes every single day that she posts. It's just baffling, especially during a time when there's a surplus of unemployed journalists, that she still has her job.Clever Pseudonymnoreply@blogger.com
