banks failed in france and belgium today as a direct consequence of this mess in the united states.
there is enormous political pressure from all over the metropole for the american political system to get it's shit together and "do something" to deal with a crisis of confidence that's percolating out into a credit freeze--the rates for interbank lending at at an all-time high today...
but the dow's up.
so maybe everyone's just making this up.
or maybe there are people feeding on yesterday's wreckage.
no problemo.
