Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When Joe Homeowner bought too much house…he was an irresponsible putz who shouldn’t whine about being put on the street. But when banks bet billions on a firm like AIG…leaving themselves hugely exposed to a sudden drop in home prices… instead of being asked to “suck it in and cope” when that bet failed, the banks instead went straight to Washington for a bailout — and got it.
Great article in Rolling Stone that gets to the heart of Occupy Wall Street. Be sure to watch the video near the top, too.

In Midst Of The #OccupyWallStreet Protests J.P. Morgan Chase recently Donates $4.6 Million to NYPD
“New York City Police Foundation — New York JPMorgan Chase recently donated an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple. The money will pay for 1,000 new patrol car laptops, as well as security monitoring software in the NYPD’s main data center.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sent CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon a note expressing “profound gratitude” for the company’s donation.
“These officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe,” Dimon said. “We’re incredibly proud to help them build this program and let them know how much we value their hard work.”
