Dear "consumer",Reminds me of the Yahoo! companywide All-hands meetings: feel-good, buzzwordy messages from the top.
I want you to be among the first to know about the bold steps we are taking at Citi to be the premier, global, fully integrated financial services firm.
Our objective is to create for our customers an experience in which services are seamless, payments and transfers effortless, and distances meaningless.

Sincerely,
Vikram Pandit

There is a marked difference between economic growth and debt-induced demand. Instead of letting the market take its medicine and enter recession in 2001, the powers that be injected fiscal and monetary drugs to dull the pain and induce stock gains.It just seems that the power-that-be are continually running the course on this consumerist capitalist economy as it is churning out many more millionaires and making the rich a little bit more. It's bad for the nation as a whole, but it's tolerated cause it benefits the folks at the top and no one is complaining. Eventually, it will, it must topple, shouldn't it? I mean, we're indebted to China for billions, stuck in the Middle East quagmire and we can't fix any of our major domestic social programs—healthcare, education, Social Security, etc.
I don't give a damnHeh heh, love the words. Most recently from Apatow's Freaks and Geeks (title theme song).

Ive never been afraid of any deviation
An I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An I'm never gonna care
bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
