Bankers have vital skills that can't be reproduced (except for all the business school degrees that are pumped out). They're too important to be punished. (I overheard a student of mine this past term make this argument to another student to justify the immense chasm between executive pay and factory chump wages—they make that much money because their skills are so rare.)
I just can't understand that. Your servile attitude will not be rewarded, kid! Unless you're already a member of that class, you are entirely disposable no matter your toadying.

He's a lower middle class (drum roll) libertarian. He had a very idealistic view of the market as the true and proper arbiter of all qualities. I tried not to judge him too harshly. We all think we understand the world at 21. I'd like to think that post-school will provide him with a harsher experience with the marketplace.

Sometimes a headline really does force you to obey and read the story:

Wow. Frat boys across America rejoice! I cannot even comprehend how much this channel will suck. My brain simply cannot process it. I'm just wondering if they'll play PSA's for a depression hotline between songs...

I dug their first couple albums back in the early 90s. On the Happy Mondays side of things.

They may have been around the same time as Happy Mondays but they do not sound anything like them. The Charlatans sound is based around a Hammond organ just another band lumped in with the so called "Baggy scene". They have survived because they were always good musicians.

*shrug* Those first couple albums sound a lot like Happy Mondays to me. Happy Mondays are more guitar, Charlatans more organ, but both sound like the commercial side of late 80s, early 90s house.
