The gods at BP and Shell

The gods at BP and Shell kinda frown on that sort of thing.

Got anything that runs on clean coal? I mean more directly than that used in electricity generation? I hear the Koch Bros. are looking to eliminate the utility middle man wherever possible. Find me a car that runs on oil, natural gas, AND coal - in large quantities of each! - and I'll show you a terrific investment opportunity that seizes the opportunities presented in our post-modern reality.

Better yet, I've just developed a CDS that shorts the color green, itself. And it's backed by AIG. Get in touch, and we'll fix you up. Wealth awaits those who will buy my paper!

Neat guys drive Teslas.

That's the spirit! You've got it!

Just have your people get in touch with my people, and we can arrange to shuffle some swaps back and forth this week and get on with the business of creating wealth. This is going to be great!

This is so clearly a lefties dream, SJ, that I wonder why it took this long to recognize that the financial sector is indeed where we belong. The following are just a few of the expected benefits found in that busy domain of American integrity and ingenuity:

Already Socialized. The gains are privatized and the losses are socialized.
A Welfare Sector: The welfare budget in this sector is much, much bigger than the one in the unemployed sector, which is really miniscule when you think about it. Even private jets are within reach when one is collecting welfare in the financial sector.
Bipartisan. It is well represented in Congress on both sides of the aisle and within the White House. Not only that, its lobbyists are highly paid and well trained. No further effort needs to be expended in assuring the continuation of benefit number 2.

Signed,

Goldpeople, Sacks and Seashell

The thing is, I'm broke 'on accounta the economy' (as The Boss says...). Think I can borrow through that famous discount Fed window to buy some of those swaps? If I promise never to pay back the original loan if The Army goes bullish?

Join the Army? That's, like,

Join the Army? That's, like, so yesterday, stardust. Blackwater (Xe) and KBR are hiring, though, if you're truly interested. But why work at all? I've got a CDS here that will let you short the Army in favor of Blackwater. It's a pretty sure bet to pay off quite well. Contact my people in the Las Vegas office and we'll set you up. ;O)

Tough choice, though;
