Two more Italian banks failed over the weekend– Banco Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca. (In other news, the sky is blue.) The Italian Prime Minister himself stated that depositors’ funds were at risk, so the government stepped in with a bailout and guarantee package that could cost taxpayers as much as 17 billion euros. That’s a lot of money in Italy– ar […]

This morning I had the pleasure of spending an hour of my life tracking down a missing wire transfer that had been sent to a large, multinational bank more than two weeks ago.

In the latest episode of the completely psychotic breakdown of Western values, Canada’s government has just passed a law that champions sexual identity over science.

Apparently while I was in the air yesterday flying between Asia and Europe, the financial system proved once again that it believes in magic beans. The latest absurdity is that the government of Argentina sold $2.75 billion worth of bonds yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday I spent all afternoon meeting with government officials here in the Philippines, and I’m still in shock.

Much of this is attributable to low popu […]
