Now, now. You know as well as anyone else it was just a keyboard warrior joke.

No one doubts your dedication to the ledge.

 

Well, but your message board slight (which I took most personally, and will go on a neg rampage about forthwith) raised a legit point.  A lot of people actually have an opportunity to make a real difference - more than just yelling online or in the streets - via their daily work, either professional or personal.  Use your position to push back, to tilt things the right direction, or even just to throw some sand in the gears.  It's important.

Talk about muting the truth here.

Firstly..um..he's considered maybe the best CEO in modern banking history. I don't think there is much debate. He's tenure at Chase is best illustrated with the analogy that Dimon joining and taking Chase on the historic run is like Saban when he came to Bama. Love him, hate him, he's the GOAT.

Also regarding your comment on his political soundbytes: he's a blueberry in the tomato soup in the high finance world in that he's way more liberal than most in his position would be, both publicly and privately. The derogratory nickname for him from his bankers at JPMC is "Jaime Biden".

Not to get too far into this side topic, but banking is not the entire financial industry.  Yes, Dimon is very highly regarded, as I said.  But he's not the only one.  

And Dimon has self-described as having a liberal heart but a conservative brain.  He is known for platitudes like this, as are most politicians.  I guess that makes him more liberal than most bankers in that he isn't Jesse Watters.  Cool?  That doesn't change what I said about him being known for empty rhetoric in front of cameras.  He absolutely is.

He was paid, a lot, to listen to his brain and ignore his heart, as it relates to his employment.  Fair statement?

I really do not know the guy or know much about him.  But it doesn't say much about the banking industry if the guy doesn't understand markets and stability.   If he is playing a game, then the better course of action would be to shut the fuck up, not stay stupid shit to appease an orange moron.

Are you suggesting Jaime Dimon doesn't understand markets and stability because a snippet of what he said about stability was quoted and it is a captain obvious statement (which is also technically correct)?

I'm genuinely trying to understand how Dimon is catching strays on Trump sucking. Especially considering Dimon is a sometimes public, but always closeted, democrat. Between 1989 and 2009 he donated more than 12x the amount to Democratic candidates than to R's. 

Like most of us here in Texas (and even moreso if you are in certain industries like manufacturing and oil and gas) Dimon takes on a professionally nonpartisan stance in most firm-representing and related matters.

Dimon?  I’d vote for him in a heartbeat and if he ran as a Dem, which he was for the longest time, every sane person here would too.

He’s the best CEO, period. He’s on camera a bunch because people seek him out. He doesn’t have empty word soundbites. He shreds politicians without getting political, as he did Warren and Tlaib about 3 years ago.

i suspect it is more about dimon being just another public personality with no accountability for anything he says or does and shamelessly heel turning when it starts to impact him. recall that this was him in january of this year:

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/economy/jamie-dimon-tariffs-get-over-it/index.html

Quote

Tariffs are “an economic tool” or “an economic weapon,” depending on how they’re used, said Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, in an interview Wednesday with CNBC from Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is taking place. “I would put in perspective: If it’s a little inflationary, but it’s good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.”

I've been in Solana Beach for a week.  Trust me, it's very livable.

Can confirm.  Was there for only for a few days, but yeah.   Glorious weather.  

Had outstanding pizza at the Pizza Port.

You fuckers have managed to make this thread worse than the Ewers thread 

Give us time, we'll turn this into a cross between the Ewers thread, Jade's chili thread, and "chicks Vic Mackey would dig" thread.

And it still won't even come close to matching up to the real-world shitshow unfolding before our eyes.

Yeah, I know that every time I eat at Reggie's the service is lousy, the prices are outrageous, and I get food poisoning, but I'd rather starve to death than eat at that restaurant down the street with better food and lower prices because Fox says that all their food contains baby blood.

Portugal has now ruled out buying the US-made F-35 fighter jet because of Trump’s attacks against Europe and NATO.

This will cost the US tens of millions of dollars.

My MIL called my wife and was bitching about how bad Biden left the economy. Godspeed old lady. Wait till you see what trump does to you! They live off SS, Medicare and me. Mostly me fixing their hovel. They have a new roof, septic, kitchen, and ac so they should be good until they have to go back to work at Walmart at 80. I am not buying them groceries because they need to pull thier boot straps up and get to work like their God wanted and they voted for. Leapards will feast. Idgaf.

I would feel the same way, were I you. Luckily, my MIL is a suspicious woman. Not of family, but of news from the world. She sees the silver lining in having a reason to go to the Capitol and be among other folk, while standing present for her beliefs. I have warned her to expect her SS check to vanish, and I don’t think she believes it possible. She doesn’t need it, (though millions absolutely do need it,) other than it buttresses her (correct) belief that she is still an earner. She’s 92, a treasure, and may painful death await anyone who harms her in any way.

Means testing is a good idea, imo, to improve SS, but reasonable dialogue and compromise might as well be in another universe. I guarantee

Quite bit more than that. Each jet is $70 million.

I actually support the use of tariffs where trade is truly unfair and it has been for many years with respect to human rights, environmental protections, IP rights and others where the US is at a disadvantage because of positive and necessary regulation that other countries don’t abide by and the world trade organization if I’m not mistaken supports these in certain circumstances. 

that’s wildly different than what Trump is doing or not doing or doing or sort of not doing or kind of doing or whatever the fuck and when you start talking about 200% tariffs there’s no rational basis to support that so yeah it’s war against …. Errybody.

So much winning 

 

In the spirit maker’s quarterly earnings call on March 5, CEO Lawson Whiting said blocking consumers from buying American-made products in Canada or other countries is a crushing blow for U.S. companies.

“That’s worse than a tariff because it’s literally taking your sales away completely, removing our products on the shelves,” Whiting told investors. “That’s a very disproportionate response to a 25% tariff."

Just as a reminder, these dipshits were around during Trump's first presidency, which included Trump redrawing lines on a hurricane map, Trump saying windmills cause cancer, Trump saying that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, Trump saying that we should rake forests, and, of course, the daily barrage on common sense while a global pandemic was killing thousands of Americans per day.  They don't get to pretend that this is a surprise.  They don't get to pretend they didn't have the data.  They just didn't think they'd be personally affected. 

He also didn't really solve wokeness or DEI during his first term either.

We’ve got a madman at control of the ship. In his first term, his handlers could not get his phone out of his hand for downtime dumbass tweets. Now, he has a significantly more sycophantic admin and they’re apparently fine implementing his trade war against the world, which is the emotionally reactive nonsensical “I invented the question mark!” type of bullshit. The backlash and retaliation from the world is fucking hilarious, but he’s so stubborn that it won’t have an ameliorating public affect for many months, if ever.
