Fuming
Just two weeks ago the Lux. prime minister was telling our press that there is NO WAY the Lux. financial market will be affected by the American crisis. I thought what an idiot, he must know all financial markets are connected! He was just telling it to the people to calm them down and prevent panic and people taking their money out of the banks.
But of course, today's newspaper has him saying that Luxembourg is in a DEEP financial crisis, and that it's as bad as the huge industrial crisis in the after-war times! Hello, don't tell me we went from being FINE 2 weeks ago to being in the deepest shit in over 50 years in just 14 days, asshole!
OMG I am so mad. I had a very bad opinion of him already before, but this took the cake. And he expects the people to buy this?!
As you can see, politicians are assholes EVERYWHERE.
The problem with Luxembourg is that there is no industry here. This whole tiny monarchy lives solely on the banking sector! The moment the banks are gone, we revert back to feudalism. And of course, a small country is much easier to throw off balance than a large one.
We're soooo screwed!
The people have been calling for the government to stop putting "all eggs in one basket" for years! Rightly, they were concerned about economy that is supported solely by the banking companies. They pleaded with the prime minister to stop focusing on banks alone and start supporting other industries, to avoid the risk.
And the prime minister has always insisted that Luxembourg banks will ALWAYS be fine. Nothing can EVER happen, citizens, calm down.
Now we see it!
