Greed and hubris are the downfall of the mighty. Believing it is different this time is the mistake of the feeble minded. Watching the ensuing carnage will be a laugh riot. Seeing the blubbering of the bubble headed bimbos, pinhead pundits and Wall Street shysters when the inevitable collapse occurs will be worth the price of admission.

Les marchés sont formidables, le “Shutdown” est formidable, l'économie américaine est formidable, le Congrès est formidable, NOUS sommes FORMIDABLE [Chronique Matinale] Ce qu’il y a de bien dans ce métier, c’est que l’on a atteint des niveaux de conscience et de maîtrise de l’économie qui sont à des sommets.

Could the barge be a solution to interference from the NSA, allowing Google to ferry data across the world's oceans by a team of gondaliers with GPS-enabled Google Glass out of the reach of the government? Or, is Google preparing for the end of the world? After all, these are apocalyptic times.
