This applies especially to the Wall Street bankers who looted the global economy with sleazy tactics and, sadly, also with impunity. That is why, if I was the editor in charge of any news organisation, I would flatly ban the use of the word "earned", when "profited" or "made" (as in money) would be much more accurate, or at least neutral. I would not try to say who "deserved" profits; only that profits were made.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #anger #economy #finance #money #occupy #ows #politics</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:48:47 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19911 anger economy finance money occupy ows politics http://www.itworld.com/government/105031/will-wall-street-require-python Charles Stross was right.
