Well, if it wasn't clear, my broad point is that the story isn't of interest to hackers because it yields no better understanding of how finance works. Hackers should be interested in understanding things, not eyeball-glazing polemics full of hopelessly re-contextualized non-information.

I used to work in finance, and think it's fascinating, the good and the bad. I'm sympathetic to the argument that banks are too large, too undisciplined, and have too much power, but agreeing with nonsense because you want to is an anti-pattern, both personally and in terms of the long-term ideological fight.
