One Week After Bailout, AIG executives head to California resort
If only I knew how to make that statement flash rainbow colour.
In the process, they spent USD $400000 on rooms, meals and get this: spa treatment!
Note to self: don't discriminate, beefy men are allowed to soak in perfume-scented suds too.
There are no other words but pure selfishness to describe this heinous act. These upper-class Americans are past the stage of of remorse. Having squandered billions of tax payers' dollars already, $400000 is like a blip in the ocean of sunk cost. They don't care, so why should their fellow Americans care? Is there a lesson to be learnt here? Do these turn of events signify that greed could possibly be the deadliest sin, one that can escape unpunished in this world. You can send a man to jail for murder, your pride could possibly be wounded by words said by another... yet greediness is rewarded with fat remuneration packages and a week-long retreat at a Californian spa.
I once wondered aloud: Was society always this twisted? Maybe. There was a period in time where I checked the news every half an hour, perhaps just waiting for justice to take place. Was society always this twisted? Justice never came, and I was convinced that we weren't always this twisted. Someone must have coined the term justice hence they must have been civilised once upon a time.
