I went to a large music festival in Pemberton, BC this summer. Organizers were so utterly unprepared for the arrival of us, and thousands of others, that we were shuffled along like cattle into the wee hours of the morning by staff that clearly had no plan at all. Drunk, bored, and extremely pissed off, my friend and I tried to incite a riot. It is more difficult to get a good riot going than you might think.
I was reminded of that by this great story by Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone, about the US Financial Crisis and the subsequent bailout. The lack of U.S. headlines that include the words “disemboweled” and “banker” continues to surprise me. I have to think that the tipping point can’t be that far off.
