Esta \u00e9 sobre as v\u00e1rias Irlandas que h\u00e1 por a\u00ed, n\u00f3s inclu\u00eddos.<\/p>\n
Tristemente, acho que est\u00e1 muito perto da realidade.<\/p>\n
Muita da gest\u00e3o de alto n\u00edvel de hoje em todo o
\nmundo \u00e9 feita, de facto, por um conjunto de putos
\npresumidos munidos de umas teorias balofas
\nmaterializadas em folhas de Excel.<\/p>\n

\nThe markets want money for cocaine and prostitutes. I am deadly serious.<\/p>\n
Most people don’t realize that “the markets” are
\nin reality 22-27 year old business school
\ngraduates, furiously concocting chaotic trading
\nstrategies on excel sheets and reporting to
\nbosses perhaps 5 years senior to them. In
\naddition, they generally possess the mentality
\nand probably intelligence of junior cycle
\nsecondary school students. Without knowledge of
\nthese basic facts, nothing about the markets
\nmakes any sense-and with knowledge, everything
\ndoes.<\/p>\n
What the markets, bond and speculators, etc, want
\nright now is for Ireland to give them a feel good
\nfeeling, nothing more. A single sharp, sweeping
\nbudget would do that; a four year budget plan
\nwill not. Remember that most of these guys won’t
\nactually still be trading in four years. They’ll
\neither have retired or will have been promoted to
\na position where they don’t care about Ireland
\nanymore. Anyone that does will be a major
\nspeculator looking to short the country for
\nmassive profit.<\/p>\n
In lieu of a proper budget, what the country can
\ndo-and what will work-is bribe senior ratings
\nagencies owners and officials to give the country
\na better rating. Even a few millions spent on
\nbumping up Ireland’s rating would save millions
\nand possibly save the country.<\/p>\n
Bread and circuses for the masses; cocaine and
\nprostitutes for the markets. This can be looked
\non a unethical obviously, but since the entire
\nsystem is unethical, unprincipled and chaotic
\nanyway, why not just exploit that fact to do some
\ngood for the nation instead of bankrupting it in
\nan effort to buy new BMWs for unmarried 25 year
\nolds.<\/p>\n
