Boardroom In Black

A couple of weeks ago, I was presented with a promotion at work, resulting in yet another round of corporate political chess. While this is always necessary (and in fact, quite enjoyable from my perspective), this is also time consuming.

Fear not, my dear readers – this round of gameplay is almost complete, and I will soon be returning here to further satisfy your entertainment needs.

A recent poster to BiB asked me to write something up about the current “financial crisis”. Intrigued by his suggestion, I’ve began an outline of ideas that may very well turn into a post here. Stayed tuned…

A challenge to having meaningful discussion around this topic is that what actually happened vs. what is generally reported to have happened are two very different things – finance is complex and interwoven, and it takes some skill to find the straw in the needle stack.

And thus, I present to you a video that describes current banking, home ownership, and credit problems we are facing. Take the time and watch this a few times – it really needs to sink in well.

Upon further reflection, I’ve removed the last posting on the blog, and performed some slight editing on the one prior to that. In order to do these topics justice, they need to be significantly clarified and worked through in a much more formal manner. It is my intent here to communicate my thoughts as concisely and correctly as possible, and the removed post didn’t even come close to satisfying my own sense of aesthetics. Rest assured, the topics they touch upon will be a frequent point of discussion here at BiB.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
