Another opportunity to get royally pissed off and despairing relating to what's been going on with the current financial crisis, its antecedents, and various bailout-related program activities.
*sigh*
Honestly, I don't know if there's anything that I can actually do about this, other than to attempt to light a fire under my senators to at least go add some damned oversight and regulation to the banking business.
Seriously, this whole situation just seems surreal.

Hmm. (Mostly a placeholder for me to think about this more later...not necessarily as a business opportunity so much as an interesting distributed lending system. Yes, I know that microlending is not new, but for some reason I had assumed that the 'micro' referred only to the amounts being borrowed, not (also) the amounts being loaned.)

Yow. Suddenly I feel better about having trouble affording a house where I want one despite the fact that Megan and I are both making pretty good money.
