Fitch Downgrades Several Countries. I Wish I Knew More About How Money Works.

Fitch has downgraded the credit ratings of several countries.

A lot of money isn’t safe. Alas,
Were I investing far beyond my means,
Securing loans, or interest, or liens,
I might begin to understand the mass
Of panic that it’s not creating. Great;
Apparently we’re doomed, yet we are not.
And while I’m not a fan of fear, a lot
Of apathy is dangerous of late,
Especially if apathy’s the cause
Of whatever the hell is causing this –
A fear in loaning (though, perhaps, the Swiss
Might give you confidence). If the applause
Of Fitch is worth the getting, this I know:
The loss of it is quite a heavy blow.
