This man speaks with such clarity and sound reasoning as to give some hope that things can change but towards the end he clarifies his point be saying that those who are in power, especially banking, have no skin in the game because of their dependency on their caretakers, that they do not learn from the mistakes from the past. Maria looks as if she just rolled out of bed.

"Highly improbable events"? You mean like 10% of market volume trading within the 1-minute period on Friday starting at 4:01 pm? What's improbable about 10% of trades crammed into a 0.25% sliver at the end of the trading day? There's no manipulation here whatsoever...

Nor is anything weird about 90% of gains in earnings among the 500 S&P stocks being concentrated in 10 companies (7 of which got bailouts)...
