John Oliver lambastes Goldman Sachs for screwing America without fear of jail

[octoberlib]

Thursday night on The Daily Show, host John Oliver launched a blistering attack on the big banks by noting an important change to the board game Monopoly: the jail is being removed.

“Yes, you heard right,” he remarked. “The game designed to teach children how capitalism works has removed the ‘go to jail’ option to reflect the financial system they’re going to grow up in, presumably replacing it with a ‘get yelled at by Congress and then go directly to the Cayman Islands’ option.

Though regulations force Goldman Sachs to move aluminum out of its warehouses, the financial giant simply moves aluminum from warehouse to warehouse. The artificial inflation of aluminum has cost American consumers more than $5 billion over the last three years.

2. Good for him. It can't be pointed out often enough, the crime of not prosecuting the criminals, and

the even worse crime of bailing them out. It is shocking really and there hasn't been nearly enough outrage over what they did to this country and the rest of the world.
