After the shit first hit the fan in 2008, Neel Kaskari was named federal bailout chief and placed in charge of the $700 billion earmarked for injection into the ailing U.S. economy. The pressure was too much and he resigned seven months later.
Now he lives in my neck of the woods, trying his city-boy best to chop wood and build a shed.
“I had to do something with my hands. It’s a big amorphous unknown, what’s going to happen to our economy. And the shed is solid, measurable. I can see it, I can touch it. It’s going to be around for the next 30 years. It’s the opposite of amorphous.”
neel, i feel you buddy.
