        That one was more complex. Lehman brothers didn’t publicly tell everybody that they were going to do a bad thing, then proceed to do the bad thing despite everyone telling them it’s a very bad idea, and then everything turns into shit just like everyone had predicted.

          True, but then it also could’ve been mitigated better after shit hit the fan.

              Yeah I think you’re right, a lot of average people wouldn’t be as anti establishment and easily pursuaded by demogoges if they’d taken care of the general population after 2008 instead of the banks…
