There is a picture of the banking bigshot Terrence
Murray on page 1 of today's Business section.
He was reported to be absent from a meeting of
community activists who accuse his bank of" abandoning
minority and low-income borrowers ... "
To be sure, poverty is not profitable and banks in
general are not in the charity business.
Nevertheless, banks operating with a sense of decency
can improve the lives of nearly desperate people.
Let me ask a naive question: Is a sense of decency
written on a man's face ?
If so, then Terrence Murray has a major public
relations problem.
Not a few people I know have mentioned his remarkable
resemblence to a barn yard PIG !
Anyway pigs have a reputation for being SMART.
In George Orwell's " Animal Farm " they took over
after the REVOLUTION:
" All animals are equal but some animals are more
equal than others. "
Does Murray ever read a book that challenges
the sacred principle of capitalist profit ?
