Matt Damon rips bankers in MIT speech

in #money8 years ago

What we do matters, what we do affects the outcome. So, either way, MIT, you gotta go out and do really interesting things, important things, inventive things. Because this world, real or imagined, this world has some problems that we need you to drop everything and solve. So go ahead! take your pick from the world's worst buffet..


..And add to that a banking system that steals people's money. By the way, while I'm on this, let me say this to the bankers, specifically the once that brought you the biggest heist in history. It was theft and you knew it, it was fraud and you knew it, and you know what else, we know that you knew it. So yeah, you sorta got away with it, you got that house in the Hampton's that other people paid for as their own mortgages went underwater, and you might have their money but you don't have our respect. And just so you know, when we pass you on the streets and look you in the eye, that's what we are thinking.

The probability of us being the real version is really low, math is against us.

But holy shit, thanks for linking this. More respect for Matt Damon than I've ever had. How'd you like them apples, bankers?

Here is a relevant video of one of my other Idols, Elon Musk:

Funny that you posted this video! As I was watching Matt's speech I actually remembered that Elon was discussing the same topic on the recode conference.

Read The Creature From Jekyll Island or if you prefer not to read:

AKA - How the bankers did it... though they just KEPT doing it more and more
