Stock Markets and the Rule of Law
Bannon’s stated Leninist goal is “blowing everything up”, so Trump’s undoing of capitalism plays very nicely into that.
Wait until he follows through on his promise to “renegotiate” US debt.

A lesbian on Wall Street challenges her former colleagues on Steve Bannon
As you probably already know, I’m a lesbian who used to work on Wall Street. I was encouraged this year when Wall Street stood against the anti-trans law HB2 in North Carolina. But the industry has been shamefully silent on the bigots Trump has tapped for the White House.
Last week, the Ranking Members of the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees, along with Rep. Keith Ellison and Senator Elizabeth Warren, sent a letter to the major Wall Street trade associations, asking them to stand up to Trump and demand he fire Steve Bannon.
This inspired me to reflect on my experiences as a queer person on Wall Street, so I wrote this piece on Medium about my time there, my experiences with the LGBTQ associations, the time I met the CEO of Bank of America at a diversity roundtable, and the hypocrisy I’m seeing now:
Wall Street opposed the anti-LGBT #HB2. Will they oppose bigotry in the White House?
Really, really want to see my old company take the lead on this. Especially since Bannon did have a stint there.
And Trump had a campaign commercial featuring our CEO as the face of evil.
Ha. And they did. Not surprised and pretty glad. They used to match ACLU and Sierra Club donations, and I’m sure they still do.
Everyone – everyone I know – who is sanguine about this – has some exit strategy.

Had drinks with ex-old-company coworkers.
I am NOT PARANOID!
Everyone is as freaked out as I am and everyone is thinking of an exit strategy!!!!!
Everyone – everyone I know – who is sanguine about this – has some exit strategy.
Ok, almost everyone.
Hannah Arendt on Jewishness, the immigrant plight for identity, and the meaning of “refugee” – wisdom from the 1940s, which applies with extraordinary pertinence and poignancy to today, particularly in the context of Trump’s atrocious Muslim Ban.
