I think she's one to watch, a bit low key, but she had Dimon spluttering because he could not answer her questions.

and for him to say he'd like to speak to that employee, well, that doesn't cut it. He needs to address that situation for EVERY employee who's making less than a living wage at his bank. All employers ought to do that.

By the end of her first year there will be no one who will want testify. They’ll be shaking in their $10,000 boots.

She schooled him like a teacher (this coming from an ex-teacher). Ooooh, she is back on. She was a teacher...it shows.

* Lawrence seems like a cheerleader this week. He must sense that we are feeling blue these days and is trying to cheer us up.

Somehow, we need to inject far more social responsibility into the roles of CEOs.
The capitalism system does just fine at injecting responsibility to shareholders into the CEO job.
But as titans of the economy, the priorities of the companies become reality for the masses.

To translate this into parenting: imagine if a father or mother simply kept their kids fed and housed (satisfying material obligations), but never gave them an ounce of guidance, values, habits or discipline (failing all social obligations). Would we judge them as successful or capable parents?

I wish she would have asked poor Jamie if he feels he should get a raise, and if so how much it should be. "How much would be enough? Do you hope to be the first trillionaire, while some of your employees can't afford their insulin? Isn't modern capitalism wonderful?"

This Monster of a company made 109 BILLION in 2018


Shoot with that amount of money, how could they only pay POOR Jamie Dimon only 31 million, he needs a raise

Dimon should be fired for not being able to answer that question, but we know darn well he know's the answer, but is not really gonna go there.....

Took 56 years, but first time in my life I've had a D Rep. Of course I have two D Senators.

As for JD, fuck him. "She might have my job someday"

Fuck that asshole.

She called both Dimon and some other guy delusional and accused them of living in a bubble or ivory tower.

a bank will suspect any of their employees with unusual debts or expenses of potential theft.

dimon knows what he is doing to his employees. he does not care.
