THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

I hope the HSBC has enough

I hope the HSBC has enough sense to stop being a major US bank! (For my sake.)

Bank of America

I'm having a personal battle with BOA, just trying to close accounts due to intentionally delayed deposits on their part that have been costing me in penalties and other charges. SO I hope their sorry asses fold.

When the anchor is thrown

When the anchor is thrown overboard they will all find the rope tied securely to one another as each pulls the next in line in with it!

All of the above.

All of the above.

More than one of the above

More than one of these banks is going to fall if the economy plays out the way it's looking right now.
