Nah, looks like mostly a damp squib at the mom...

It's a bit of a relief for the Eurozone, and especially the Germans (given the history)...

I'll strive to be less sensitive, thank you... And yes, I agree with the idea of there being a divide. Just baffled by its implications, is all.

Well, thank you for your vote of confidence... While you still insist on using a rather patronising tone, I will take your praise in the spirit in which it was offered. The funny thing about Renzi is that he has said that he will resign regardless of the outcome of the vote. Moreover, a lot...

I am not sure that Hensarling, with his bias, is the best person to listen to on these issues. Allegedly, CFPB has been investigating the consumer banking issues at WF from 2013 onwards. Needless to say, there are other examples of CFPB at least doing something about various abuses.

Mav, you need to stop patronising me. Trust me, I appreciate the phenomena that you're describing just fine. What baffles me is the idea that a guy, who I perceive as not just random, but rather completely unsuitable, can walk into the right bar at the right time and end up running the place...

The Gallup article regarding all these issues is here: http://www.gallup.com/poll/192914/healthcare-insecurity-record-low.aspx

Well, a lot of things baffle me, but, TBH, it's fine, I'll just live with it. Let's see how it works out, since only time will be the judge.

I presume that you're addressing this, at least partly, to me? If so, you're incorrect in your assessment. I do not vote in the US, but I would be happy to explain why the choice of the American people baffles me.

I am not confused and I am aware of the difference. For all of its problems, this is the effect I am referring to:

Yeah, that's kinda my point... Again, I'm no expert to judge whether ACA was a success or failure more broadly. However, given that that Trump seems to want to keep some elements of it, it can't be all bad, right? Same with Dodd-Frank. Trump seems to be a fan of the Volcker rule. One of the...

Yeah, them are socialist pigeons, innit? Well, I could try to argue with you about this, but, instead, let me just wish you the best of luck... I hope it all works out for you.

Right, so there is a bit of nuance here that you have omitted originally... You said "nothing is done", but what you meant to say was that "nothing right is done", where "right" is defined as "helping the majority". I have to say that, again, I do have some sympathy and I hope you believe me...

Nah, we here in the Ole Blighty are still using carrier pigeons to spread the news, rather than all these high-falutin' cable whatchamacallits. As to the optimism, sure, I could be reading the tea leaves all wrong. I suppose that's likely to be the case, given the bias of the community that I...

No, sorry... What exactly is the significance you perceive in the use of "going to" instead of "need to"?

Say what exactly?

The origins of this have sorta been lost in time... Allegedly, it's just how Reuters colored them a long time ago and it stuck.

The whites are the first four quarterly contracts (followed by the reds, greens, etc).

Mav, why iz you hasslin' me, bruv? I ain't waiting for no goddamn details... In seriousness, my point is precisely that. I don't really get why peeps are so much more optimistic and excited about Daddy. As far as I can tell, it's more of the same, at best.

This is the sort of nay-saying that we can't accept, you see... Why you care abt all these details? It's all gonna be great again and that's all you need to know.
