Here we go again, bashing the bankers for their bonuses.
I was under the impression, living in a Capitalist system with a zero sum model (winners and losers), that making money was the prime motivator driving successful businesses.
More profit, less effort, is the ultimate goal.
Surely we must applaud the efforts of the bankers, not demonise them!
The people at the top are embarrassed by the injustices exposed by the size of bankers’ bonuses, with people losing their jobs on the back of bankers’ decisions.
But the system is to blame.
It encourages bad behaviour.
Inequality and exploitation are ingrained in our system. It only works well for the top 10%, the rest struggle at best or are discarded.
