Inside Job

Just watched the 2010 Oscar winning documentary 'Inside Job' this evening.  It's a great documentary which gives us good insight (or you can say hindsight) of what, who caused the financial tsunami and how did it happened.  It's so funny to see how some interviewees reacted and answered when they were bothered by aggressive questions.   Some people even declined to be interviewed.  So needless to say it explicitly, we almost know who is on white side and who's on the black side.

I feel quite pity for Elliott Spitzer, who was a former governor of New York and got interviewed in the documentary.  When many of the Wall Street senior management colluded with some major government officers, he stood out to prosecute them.   However his effort 'bounced back' - the Wall Street revenged on him and he was forced to resign.

I also have a mixed feeling towards the documentary's prosecution on Wall Street's compensation structure and their role in the financial tsunami.  Thinking backward, I was one of the victims in the financial tsunami.  But later I secured a job at one of the giant financial monsters, and 'enjoy' an above average pay package.  I certainly cherish my job now, but never forget my bitter days back then.   Lucky enough I managed to stand on my own feet in the downturn, but for those who become unemployed or bankrupt because of other people's greed and those have lower education or lower skills to survive in the recession, I feel for them...

睇人瞓街

(今日突然有感而發,不喜勿讀)

有0的鍾意睇人仆街, 目標其中一個有我份。

可能我以前命苦, 所以有人想睇我死0黎平衡下自己0既病態心理, 唔緊要, 因為我知我有一日會勝過你呢班契細佬。人生, 係玩長途賽, 做人亦唔好自滿或自卑於一時, 要謙虛得來用腦。

之前笑過我0既人, 其實我而家活得比你地好都駛畀你地知。
