ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Letter to the Bank #70 (Who Consumes the Consumer?)

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

Letter to the Bank #70 (Who Consumes the Consumer?)

Dear Mr. Banker,

Who consumes the consumer? I don't enjoy being called a consumer. We are all consumers on some level. THE consumer, the biggest consumer of all is you. You are consuming us little consumers at a massive rate. What will you do when all the plankton has gone? You are way too lazy to create wealth so once you have consumed all the wealth that is already available what will you do then? Do big banks only fail when there is nothing more to suck on?

Just a quick note. Had the thought. Wrote it down. Sent it to you. Doubt you'll give it the time of day. Oh well.

Sincerely,
