Amazing

"Scott's greedy intentions are out in the open." What? You mean all this time, he's been trying to improve his bottom line by reducing overhead while still selling lots of stuff? I'm shocked and chagrined. SHOCKED AND CHAGRINED!

But seriously, isn't this what we've been trying to tell CEOs all along? Becoming more efficient will save you lots of money (and oh by the way, also save the planet)?

For the financial types that crossover to Grist

I think the proper term (from Tanta at Calculated Risk) is shocked & stunned.

Calculated Risk has been on the mortgage debacle since before it was widely known as a debacle.
