Anya: What would I have to do?
D'Hoffryn: What you do best. Help wronged women punish evil men.
Anya: Vengeance.
D'Hoffryn: But only to those who deserve it.
Anya: They all deserve it.
D'Hoffryn: Well, that's where I was goin' with that, yeah.

I won't have made it through the day until it hits midnight or the thermostat drops below 25° C, whichever is soonest.

Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.

It's Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.

And "Rookie Mistake"? Is that Kipling too?

Why did you start this post with the American phrase "Rookie mistake"? You probably thought that it pithily encapsulated something to do with your point. Or maybe you're just a... what is it you young people say? A "memelord"?

The endless cycle of government:

Business People: We are being strangled by regulation
Politicians: We will free the creative genius of the nation by making a bonfire of red-tape
Everyone: Oh no! lack of regulation means all the business people are turning the environment to shit!
Politicians: We will toughen regulation to protect the environment and the population again.
Business People: Waaaaaah! Throws rattle out of pram.

(That's enough endless cycle - ed.)

Gotten is a perfectly good English word. "Stiff upper lip," that supposed touchstone of the English character, was first used in the United States. Grammar is largely a matter of fashion. If you find yourself questioning the vocabulary choices of various publications because you think they ought to be more English might I suggest having a nice cup of tea, or a tasty beverage of your choice, instead?
