So in the news there was the Story about how Goldman Sachs has been manipulating the aluminum market by storing large quantities of this metal in warehouses to create pseudo shortage and drive the prices up.

You might say...Tough titties Mullah...that is capitalism for you...

however actually there suppose to be Rules in place for to prevent such things...The rule stipulates that such commodities can not be held in one place for more than 30 days and must be moved out. So Goldman Sachs is moving these truck load of metal from one warehouse to another to follow the letter of the law.

In related News...Makers of Monopoly game have opted to remove the go to Jail from the game. Which is Ironic, the game that meant to teach young children about capitalism and consequences of choices is now actually mimicking the reality and as long as you are rich and powerful you can circumvent the laws or bend them to suit your needs.

Funny how in a different thread there was a rant about how Liberals and liberal values are corrupting and indoctrinating children.

Nothing Like facts to shut down the baseless propaganda made by the right and republicans...Aye?
