      I took it as personal advice and not really as economy fixing solution

        It’s throwing stones in a glass house

        Let’s extrapolate their advice to something they can do, so as not to require bailouts from our tax money. If I have to tighten my budget and be fiscally responsible to survive, so should they.

        You can take it as personal advice all you want, but they aren’t taking any advice because the consequences don’t lead them to homelessness. Instead, their consequences leave us holding the burden

          Should, maybe. Doesn’t seem like they do.

            Okay, then shouldn’t we demand they do? Or at least criticize them when they don’t? We are criticizing them because they didn’t and then they told us we should.

              I mean by all means. But banks and regular people aren’t really in a comparable position, is what I’m saying. Maybe they should be but it’s just not the situation right now.
