Comic #4554: financial-regulators

View Original Comic

Description

The comic features two characters: one is a man in a suit with glasses, and the other is an older woman with glasses holding a spray bottle.

The text at the top reads:

"THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: POLICIES THAT WOULD PROBABLY WORK, BUT WHICH ARE TOO STUPID TO ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED."

The speech from the man states:

"INSTEAD OF FINANCIAL REGULATION, WE'LL JUST PUT OLD LADIES WITH SPRAYBOTTLES IN ALL BANKS. ANY TIME THEY SEE SOMEONE ENGAGING IN FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT, THEY SPRAY THEM AND SHOUT 'BAD! BAD!'"

The scene humorously suggests an unconventional approach to financial regulation using old ladies as enforcers.
