It’s funny how much your perspective informs things. When I read the New York Mag article that Taibibi is referring to, it didn’t even cross my mind that he was trying to be sympathetic to the bankers, because the whole time I was thinking “Good, I’m glad things are getting back to some semblance of normalcy. I guess Obama’s financial regulations worked more than I gave them credit for.”

Listening to Wall Street whine about how it is misunderstood is nothing new. It’s been going on for years. But if Sherman’s piece heralds a new era of Wall Street complaining about how it is not only misunderstood but undercompensated, you’ll have to excuse me while I spend the next month or so vomiting into my shoes.
