A serious criminal investigation is required, but unfortunately the FBI is incompetent. On the short term, in conjunction with the fairly recently lowered key rate, it has more benefits for them to not start lending right away as the advantage of increasing lending now is minimal for them. While it might be more beneficial for the whole economy, no one really wants to risk their own company for that. On the short run, shoring up their capital positions actually helps them survive as it props up their balance sheet far better than increased lending rates. Besides, there are banks which has increased their lending rates, seeing a chance in the more exposed banks are hesistant to take advantage of the current situation. If that much money can magically cover rent for that long without it restricting where I live to a cardboard house or a closet, I'd go for rent. | ||

You know, the problem with our economy is that people are afraid to spend money, everyone is trying to save up the little that they have. Investment alone from the banks (not that they are doing that, but even if they did) is not enough to drive the economy forward. Our economy is based on human's desire to spend. Without spending, there is actually nothing to invest in. Look at Japan in the late eighties, they literally ran out of things to invest in, so they arbitrarily drove up their real-estate and stock (nikkei peaked at 40k?) only leading to an unsustainable economy which ended in a bust that sent them to a recession that they are yet still trying to recover. | ||

To be fair, it's a business workstation computer. You'd never really need that as a personal computer + Show Spoiler + On the other hand, they are charging in excess of 1000 bucks for a 4 gb stick of DDR2 RAM... 8 times over. Lololol. | ||
