“Last year Merrill Lynch’s chairman Stan O’Neal retired after announcing losses of $8bn, taking a final pay deal worth $161m. Citigroup boss Chuck Prince left last year with a $38m in bonuses, shares and options after multibillion-dollar write-downs. In Britain, Bob Diamond, Barclays president, is one of the few investment bankers whose pay is public. Last year he received a salary of £250,000, but his total pay, including bonuses, reached £36m.”

All hardworking men, slaves to the discipline of the marketplace, struggling to compete by improving products and services demanded by the consuming public, taking their lean years along with their fat years. [/sarcasm]

And you don’t respond when I make you look silly.
That’s okay, I understand.

[AndyJackson]

You shill for your overlords and you talk about others looking silly.

Talk more about overlords, that won’t make you look silly.
