Rancorous bosses, quirky workers, and an up-and-down stock market populate the world of 9 to 5. A cast of regular characters include J.B. Wells (the boss), Sims (office flunkey), and Ms. Forbes. While mainly a satire on business, the comic also pokes fun at technology, relationships, dogs and cats, and life in general. The cartoon is by Harley Schwadron, whose business cartoons have appeared in Playboy, Barrons, and many other top publications for many years.

Where are the funds that insure our deposits are secure?
Could it be the same place as the Social Security Trust Fund?
What are the choices? Borrow from China or print more money?

The mere existence of the FDIC encourages risky behavior by banks and anesthetizes the public regarding the safety of their money. Free-market banking had its own non-governmental version of deposit insurance, but it was run as a real insurance operation, not as the current scam backed by government printing presses.
