...and nothing to do with the Olympic Games but more the Olympic class ocean liners one of which was the mildly famous Titanic and even then not entirely about that either: "The madness of billionaires, central bankers, and Chancellors" [The Slog]: The Titanic, the Quantitative Easer, and the Austerititor System.

* MS Balmoral was built and previously sailed as Crown Odyssey.
