I mean, seven of your colleagues have perished while rooftop banking this year alone.
JP Morgan should issue a statement to their employees on the dangers of this...

In hindsight, I probably would have gotten it back and then some under Obama, and that's bothersome for me, but surpassing that, my distrust is much higher of fellow Americans who are from the republican/conservative train of inferior thought processes.
The crash was timed perfectly by Wall St and the Bush regime 1% pulling Dubya's strings. It caught those of us who are the oldest sector of the baby boomers and many of us bailed out to save something not knowing if it would go up again in a decade or more, so Wall St won when we left our nest eggs on the table for them to gobble up. Simple is that.

Yes that was my point, can't image working in an environment where death is so likely

(2,529 posts)The cabal, I'll buy. The assassins are taking it a bit too far. Especially since they're not showing much finesse. Tossing guys from tall buildings doesn't score you any subtlety points. A vengeful, driven killer with a personal agenda might be closer to the mark, but he's showing a great deal of brass balls and an ability to avoid detection that would do justice to the most outlandish intrigue novels, not real life. I agree, as a form of suicide, it's unusual, but maybe it's a banker thing? Most of them work in high-rises and that may be the most obvious choice of handy demise that pops into their heads. The 'why' is the real mystery.
librechik
(30,674 posts)for many decades. Yes, here in the US and elsewhere. The bigger the lie, the easier it is to get people to believe it, according to Goebbels. Why? They don't want to bother with real democracy. They have an agenda, and means to an end etc. And they know they can get away with it. The who is more important than the why.

(25,406 posts)Jumping from the sixtieth floor would result in immediate death upon impact. But if you junp from the sixth floor it is entirely possible that you will be lying there in agony for a while before dying. You could even survive and end up as a quadriplegic. And in any case, surely there are many less messy methods of suicide. Of course this all assumes that the wild conspiracy theories are false.

(266 posts)the mere mention of 'banker' curdles my milk and makes what little blood still flowing through my calcified veins come to a boil.
I must truly say though I find slight bemusement in these latest events and would be more satisfied if we could get the little jumpers to act more regularly. Get the numbers up, increase the bottom line, increase the portfolio....ya know, the stuff them fat cats tell ya before they really stick ya.
