"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Percy Bysshe Shelly, predicting Old Trafford in 2050.

Not that I care about these fuckers, but I was perusing some stuff online and came across the financial term "back floating rate loan" which, I think, means private investment can buy majority stock and borrow more money to make it 'more profitable', but it can be subject to 'retroactive debt adjustments' affecting how much their total interest repayment is.

Now, I'm no financial whizz, but that sounds pretty close to what these assholes are subjected to depending on 'market forces'. Unless someone can explain if it's linked to them or not?

Cheers.

That’s too cultural for this place.
