my favorite crazy rich guy
Mark Cuban offers a private alternative to the government bailout. He’s in for $50 million. I’m no economist, but it doesn’t sound like a half bad idea.
Side-note: This past winter, I frequently used the tag “debt crisis,” suggesting that I thought the crisis would be limited to the issue of housing debt. How quaint. I am now using the tag “financial crisis,” but I’m contemplating upgrading to “all out shit storm.”
have the super rich bail out the mess that their ilk created? Too good to be true. Although I’m sure we could skim a little off the top from these folks and they wouldn’t even notice. By the looks of it, the Waltons are in a great position to benefit from this: they give a little money to the government, then their demographic will have more money to spend at their shitty stores.
