TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Biggest bond move ever.

The Chinese banks are taking a nose dive.

Most of Asia, Europe, and - of course - the USA are in freefall.

Looks like roughly 6% hits on all the major markets.  Except Japan, who took over double that.  Jesus.

Of course, they're never going to find those bad loans.  Not a chance.

Gonna be harder to get a job in the near future.  Almost certainly a recession in the making.

Basically, the international monetary system has been fucked up so much, no-one wants to lend money to each other much anymore.  Which is kind of a shame, since the lending of money is what constitutes most of the international economy.  No-one knows where the maggot in the apple, the sub-prime loans, are.  And that's bad, because it automatically makes lenders and speculators suspicious.  What if this bank is backed up using subprime loans etc

The best bit is the banks themselves probably don't know.  So there wont be an easy solution.  Hooray, deregulation of the banking system!  3 cheers for policing yourselves!

Problem is, what if America defaults?  China owns most of the US debt, and is aware its own economic fortune is tied up in that of the USA's, as does the EU and Japan.  There might be a stronger incentive for the Chinese to call in US debts, in theory, but in practice I can't see it.

Crap.

Japan is the only country buying our bonds, and the Chinese are selling like crazy.

Look at China.  Also, look at American bonds.

Just think of it as 3 huge rednecks surrounding you at the bar.

You need to go to the bathroom.

They need to stab you and then fuck you in the wounds.

Shit, I have no idea what any of that means.

It's like Latin, except that I understand a little Latin.
