Calvin and Hobbes On The Financial Crisis

March 11th 2009 05:46


This Calvin and Hobbes cartoon is about 15 years old and yet it seems surprisingly relevant to the current financial crisis and bailout situation!


Calvin and Hobbes financial crisis. 15 bucks a glass, that’s right want some? How do you justify charging 15 dollars, supply and demand. Where’s the demand, I don’t see any demand. There’s lots of demand. Yeah? Sure, as the sole stockholder in this enterprise I demand a monstrous profit on my investment, and as president and CEO, I demand and exorbitant annual salary, and as my own employee, I demand a high hourly wage and all sorts of company benefits, and then there’s the overhead and actual production costs. But it looks like you just threw a lemon in some sludge water. Well, I have to cut expenses somewhere if I want to stay competitive. What if I got sick from that. Caveat Emptor is the motto we stand behind! I’d have to charge more if we followed health and environmental regulations. You’re out of your mind. I’m going home to drink something else. Sure! Put me out of a job. It’s you anti-business types who ruin the economy. I need to be subsidised.

The similiarity between Calvin and of these bank CEOs is just disturbing (yet funny).
