Privatized profit - socialized risk.

If I make money, it's MINE. If I lose money, it's OURS.

Banking and insurance are screwing us in ways we can't even fathom.

We pay them for 'essential services' that we MUST have by law, yet when the house of cards they construct collapses, they run to the government (that they condemn for overregulation) for assistance like bunch of whining brats with empty bottles and full diapers.

They screw the pooch, and we pay the child support.

Insert cliche here.

The "B" in Benoit B. Mandelbrot stands for Benoit B. Mandelbrot, people!

Talent is a show off, and the interviewer is stupid.

American TV interviewers must ask that kind of question to ensure the viewer does not misinterpret. I do not think that this is because Americans are an order of magnitude more ignorant than other television viewers worldwide, but rather that they are more likely to go off half cocked based on a particular gap in their knowledge.

Mandelbrot is so funny: "I sleep better, perhaps, than Nassim... but I don't sleep very well."

BS - markets are a scam. MONEY is just an system of keeping score. Money is used to keep the slaves working ... instilled with false hope. IN MY OPINION (IMO)
