HSBC hits record profits

ANd for me the interest is knowing that staff bonuses and payouts for performance have been cut; it's not enough that banks make money out of nothing and charge us interest [a global pyrmaid scheme as currently practised] drawn from the rest of us to pay for the money they have created out of nothing, they then in effect turn round to the people that they have been putting under pressure to perform and hand them these profits and cut their share in those profits. Presumably it is so that they can pay the shareholders and directors many of whom are simply being paid for having money already invested: so, to those who have, more is given; and those who work their bottoms off get less of a share ... it's enough to turn you commie.
