Keen on the oversized offer, the consumers forgot to be cautious. With the economy now totally in trouble, the governments also lose their heads completely. From palace to shack, on farms, businesses, houses and the whole lot, soon nobody makes an acceptable offer anymore.  Swanky like a show horse, the stock exchange once did a joyful foxtrot. Then it changed over into a fast gallop. Everything succeeded, but overnight it suddenly clotted together in a mess.

But the runaway race was in full swing, and nobody could stop or halt it anymore. Everyone consoled: Look, that which goes down, will go up again. But the fact remains, with everything now rotten, the economic floodwaters wash high over the heads. The investors’ stomachs are in a knot, and in the throat there is a choking lump. The suicide tumbles down with a gunshot in the head, which knocks him down backwards. An anxious voice calls: Look, everything still just carries on dropping, and then it never rises again.

Babylon weeps, her husband, Mammon, failed his test. With no porridge in the pot, the housewife’s budget is not working out for a long time now. With the creditor knocking compellingly on many-a-door. From luxury houses to huts, the rich just stays a fool and therefore the whole lot collapse. The fashion doll suddenly grabs a mop, in order to survive.  But this also does not bring meat in the pot. Yes, too keen on an oversized offer, the consumers forgot to be cautious.
