"Perhaps some people who don't feel good about themselves and are not able to get what they want out of a real relationship because of a fear of rejection can feel a connection with a celebrity and get something positive out of that," says Gabriel...
...billion each, in exchange for an ownership stake that will be determined by just how much money taxpayers have to pony up. The companies are to be operated as going concerns by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), their regulator. The FHFA has already told the CEOs to go (albeit with lush severance packages), but most other executives are being asked to stay.
