It’s too bad folks just don’t understand the new capitalism . . . these hedge funds, call them what you will, just suck all the air out of the room or to put it another way, they just suck all the money out of the economy.

Check out the “Super Rich Irony” story in the New Yorker.

@BobCens: Since the US doesn’t create much in the way of capital anymore… Hollywood? Broadway?

@Dodgerblue: No doubt it’s a heroic, but futile, attempt to sacrifice himself to prevent a bacon shortage.

@Benedick: You refer to the tax evasion industry? I believe they spend more on marketing than on product. Aren’t most of “Hollywood” products actually made elsewhere? Canada? Iceland? Eastern Europe?
