С привычным наслаждением прочел текст Миши Льюиса теп�
С привычным наслаждением прочел текст Миши Льюиса теперь про Германию. (Впрочем, про scheisse там, по-моему, перебор.) Народ возмущается "стереотипностью", ну не знаю, я просто похихикал. Старичок бывший экономист, например, там смешной.
Или yo dawg:
The German government gives money to the European Union rescue fund so that it can give money to the Irish government so that the Irish government can give money to Irish banks so the Irish banks can repay their loans to the German banks. "They are playing billiards," says Enderlein. "The easier way to do it would be to give German money to the German banks and let the Irish banks fail." Why they don't simply do this is a question worth trying to answer.
Или что думают в Германии об трейдерах:
"Why should you pay $20 million to a 32-year-old trader? He uses the office space, the I.T., the business card with a first-class name on it. *If I take the business card away from that guy he would probably sell hot dogs.*"
А кто они, по сравнению, с бедными немцами, на самом деле:
... inside Wall Street investment banks devise deeply unfair, diabolically complicated bets, and then send their sales forces out to scour the world for some idiot who will take the other side of those bets. During the boom years a wildly disproportionate number of those idiots were in Germany. As a reporter for Bloomberg News in Frankfurt, named Aaron Kirchfeld, put it to me, "You'd talk to a New York investment banker, and they'd say, 'No one is going to buy this crap. Oh. Wait. The Landesbanks will!'"
Или кайф немецких правил:
Munich Re, back in June 2007, or just before the crash, had sponsored a party for its best producers that offered not just chicken dinners and nearest-to-the-pin golf competitions but a blowout with prostitutes in a public bath. In finance, high or low, this sort of thing is of course not unusual. What was striking was how organized the German event was. The company tied white and yellow and red armbands to the prostitutes to indicate which ones were available to which men. After each sexual encounter the prostitute received a stamp on her arm, to indicate how often she had been used. The Germans didn't want just hookers: they wanted hookers with rules.
