Post-Idiosyncratic Crisis #Advice from Timothy F. Geitner, President, Warburg-Pincus "Didn't we used to own Enron?" That was another Warburg. UBS/Warburg. "Are you sure?" As sure as sure is in Managing Financial Crises.

Oh boy.  Are skyscrapers paying their fair share of protection money? Public Funds

"It's how you account. Methodology."

"Oh yeah, apparently World Com and Enron used the wrong methodologies. Last I heard, UBS owns the trading desk."

[Weaker fiscal and monetary baselines coupled with weaker emergency powers left unaddressed by the next financial crisis will carry tragic economic costs.]

Timothy Geithner in his essay appearing in the Jan/Feb 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs, "Are We Safe Yet?" 54, 72.

People hide behind their duties, and it's not wrong: their religious, their family, their working duties, but to hide behind affirmative action to justify one's duties is too much for very long. Guest, brother, sister, client, classmate, refugee: let's move on.
