Goldman Sackless
It's pretty safe to say that not a damn thing surprises me, anymore. Open outcry communism markets trading heavy volume on the streets of America. Gender swapping toddlers investing in collateralized divorce obligations before they're old enough to buy Sunkist. Multimillionaires comparing themselves to indentured cave servants at the onset of the Bronze Age. We officially have it all in America, today.
So I guess the fact that a gang of nuns has taken to managerial consulting and snagged Goldman Sachs as a major corporate mantle piece, is just business-as-usual.
Anyone doubting my firm belief in physical violence as a means to solving all of life's problems, should stop and think about this blasphemous scenario.
Not even in the most puritanical societies on Earth have we ever had this sort of intrusion by the church into business affairs. Hell, I'll take a fully functional Anglo Saxon Sharia over this bullshit.
I swear man, there really ain't no heroes left for a young chimp on the prowl. Even the OGs with Sachs are going limp in the wrest and letting their pimp turn into gimp. I hate being right about certain things, but I guess the combo of BigGov.coc and TerrorizeTheEmployed LLP (NYSE:TITEE) has tightened the noose so far around the ex-Broad Street Bullies necks that they have to take it in the pooper from anyone with a wad of toilet paper, a plunger and an axe to grind.
Whatever happened to the good old days? Back when you could count on Lloyd to whizz down the Death Star elevators, appear in a flash of electric current and declare:
Get your penguin asses the fuck away from the power of this fully operational battle station!
Now I get that this is just a fluff piece and that's cool, but seriously... enough already.
You are never going to make Wall Street a part of the welfare state and shaming a banker into submission really ain't possible unless you can make a legitimate case for him constantly using commas instead of decimals to represent numerical figures in the improper Olde English fashion.
Both my screen name and a lot of the shit I babble about here reverts back to Ayn Rand. The way these populist jerk offs are going, we are not going to have to ask what happens when Atlas Shruggs.
We will simply be asking for volunteers to collect his dismembered limbs and pile them neatly into a recyclable paper box.
In the words of a greater scribe than I:
Blood, guts, guns, cuts, knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts...bitch amma kill you.
Is there anything that you don't have a ridiculous overreaction to? You take "fluff pieces" (your words) and then make them seem like the most important stories of our time. Get over yourself.
Duff, are you one of those kids that listens to panic at the disco all day?
I don't know what that is.
Not that I am aware of...
Sometimes I agree. But why flip your shit over stuff that is so insignificant?
If it is so insignificant, why do you respond?
wut da dil yo?
The same reason people bitch about Glenn Beck or Keith Olbermann. Retarded rants sometimes require a response.
I don't usually recognize my vast groupie minions, but alas even your monkey ass deserves a retort on occasion. You see in the adult world there is this thing called "business" and this site where you come to make an anonymous ass of yourself is one such "business". Now even though it is by no means the backbone of this business, traffic is a factor. I will drive more traffic here by being entertaining than by entertaining your dickless pieceofshitedness.
There are people here who are valued board members (i.e. "customers") and it is for them and their amusement that I do my daily ting ting. You are a jerk off window shopper who expects the red carpet rolled out for him. You are not the first and you will not be the last. It's cool. I appreciate your being a fan and jocking my shit in spite of your butthurtedness. Now straighten out your long ass pink afro, polish the pot belly and the mangina and hop the fuck back on some 7 year old girl's key chain.
I'm the butthurt one?
I like your candid approach, and while I sometimes disagree with you I often go back and forth on these types of issues. It's not always cut and dry, and I also have to keep my own interests in mind. For the sake of being difficult, and because the cold November rain is making me a party pooper today, I'm disagreeing:
Have you taken a look at European history during the period from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance? Peddling salvation was big bucks dude. ...wasn't necessary at the top end of the spectrum for most of US history. Big time institutions and bankers like Morgan put an end to panics as opposed to exacerbating them. It was the new money and the small fry sleeze that couldn't be trusted.Most of the current problems revolve around the fact that back in the late 80's and early 90's, the traders went to war against the traders and took over a lot of firms and then promptly went about running them into the ground while pocketing the short...GS is the perfect example of that. Any type of relationship building and long term focus were thrown out the window in order to squeeze the last drop out of the current position, and they basically killed the golden goose. A few walked off with a pile of cash, and the full devastation played out in perfect form circa 2008: the Mighty Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers were grovelling in front of congress, begging for mercy.
If it wasn't so pathetic, it would be funny.
Fortunes, reputations, and careers that took lifetimes time to build, centuries in some cases, were smashed to bits and now Wall Street acts shocked that people are literally taking to the streets? It's not so bad, and could be FAR worse. I do not condone mobs, but I also understand that provoking the villagers is a bad idea...they have pitchforks and torches, and I do not.
That having been said, I don't want to side with the fucking protesters, so I'll cut myself off.
Sometimes you make me laugh because you understand the basic principles of human interaction. How fucking sad is that?
Medieval Europe in general featured no business interests. Kings were big government, lords were the corporations and the artisans and small business men of the time really just slaves with appointed jobs. It's a matter of semantics. In my view, you don't really see an actual business class (separate from nobility or some form of royal patronage) until post Napoleon. I am sure that many historians would (and do) disagree. But I am cool with you not seeing it the same way.
It's a perspective thing, again. You are mad that Rasheed Wallace is an unkempt hood rat who won't stop getting T's. I am pissed the referees won't rain his baby ass in. I go back to regulators having the duty of regulating, which gets the slippery slope moving. Again its very much of a "rooting for your own ball club" sort of scenario and depends on where you stand. Can't disagree with most of what you said,but I'll stick to my shpiel of traders bringing efficiency to markets...even when they blow the world the fuck up.
Relax Midas. They are merely exercising their rights as shareholders. You should be the last person to need convincing that a person is entitled to do as he pleases with his own property. As a matter of fact, these nuns are doing exactly what people who are CSR champions should be doing. The are, in essence, buying companies and running them as they would like them to be run, instead of asking the government to force it on the company.
Now, the last bit of your post makes it sound like your arguement is that they won't get anywhere. But, that should make you happier, right?
+1 MMM for pwning
EDIT: out of ammo, I owe you one
You two fucktards better not scrap with me not in attendance!!
When someone is different you try to change them when someone is the same you ask him why is he just following the crowd. One can never win.
