What’s your perspective on the JPMorgan penalty for the entire housing collapse – did you feel it was long overdue or that they were unjustly punished?
As I listen to NPR, I’m reminded throughout the hours upon hours of news stories that life can certainly feel like a downward spiral, if we let it. We are bombarded with recession hangovers (the aftermath from the recession). And the tireless reporters are breaking news that, while not always hopeful, remind us what our reality really is – like it or not.
As I was brooding over the JPMorgan story, a thought popped into my head. How has this country gone so far as to forget that a “service economy” means serving people, not oneself? What parts of our self-serving brains let us think that this was okay? “I can come out ahead, but never mind that I just cheated millions of families out of their homes”????
And once again, I have to ask myself, what the hell am I personally doing about it? Get off the couch, Agent M.
