Me:  Just got back from watching The Big Short and it is a great film and an incredible indictment of the Banking and Financial system, how it can extend and pretend in order to cover up reality and how it can do utterly unethical things like sell MBS and then turn right around and short those very same investments…after it has realized it had been been setting the economy up for a catastrophe. It is also an example of the destructiveness of the intersection of greed, orthodoxy/refusal/inability to look and the corruption and duplicity that attend power.

E:  Yves Smith has a good piece on how the movie turns the real villains into heroes —

Me:  Yes that was the actual reality and the cinematic comic drama was an in between morality tale…..all the more reason to replace/transform such an evil and corrupting system of greed with one based on Grace that abundantly rewards everyone enabling them to prosper without needing to participate in such self destructive folly.

The real point is the actual system as it is…must end. And only a system based on Grace and who’s policies perfectly align with same will be up to completing that task.
