This is complete and utter bullshit. I work for BofA and ML caused us so many losses it's not even funny. It cost all of us our yearly reviews (raises/cost of living increase), yet the ML fuckers got massive bonuses.

So yeah I feel bad for shareholders too, but it fucked the employees too!

ML employees weren't fucked.

Wow, you're so cool. Wishing death on people isn't something to smile about.

For all that people say about Ken Lewis, he actually does a good job and is actually more honorable than 90% of banking CEOs. I mean, you have WFC at the top of quality management and Lewis is honestly not that far behind.

This.

Because politics is a team game. While they bicker about which side is to blame both laugh their way to the bank.

You get elected by demonizing the other party and hiding similarities and points of agreement. In reality there's very little difference between the parties and candidates that we are provided to choose from.

"I'm John Jackson and I think this plan goes too far!"
"I'm Jack Johnson and I think this plan doesn't go too far enough!"

maybe its time to look around outside the two parties and find someone that actually feels like the rest of us. a non politician
