Falling faster than Canadians from Mexican balconies…

Makes you wonder what’s about to become public knowledge?
Its all or nothing for these guys.. With nothing being a real job.. Im so fired and so responsible that I wont have a dime to my name once the show trials are over..
So.. void insurance policies aside..
kill yourself and pass your wealth onto your wife and children (I would do it) to at least try and make good on a family level..
Before its to late..
Jumped? Or pushed? Nobody saw any of these people jump.
We’ll drudge did tweet a week go to “Have an exit plan…”
When and where did they ++ the Clintons? ;D
Work stress?
–
Opens laptop,
“Good Morning Dave”
“Your Time is Up”
Don’t forget this guy last month.

Who says money can’t buy happiness? Oh yea.
Smells like October 1929…
So where’s the liberal movement to ban buildings?
I thought they were determined to protect people from themselves at all costs?
The banking institution is a precarious business with many twists and turns.
Judas Iscariot was the “banker” for Jesus and his closest disciples. 30 pieces of silver was his price for betrayal, then when he realized the calamity of his actions, it is recorded he leaped to his death because of the remorse and guilt.
There are many lessons to be learned from this tragedy, the love of money being the first.
did Judas jump from the 20th or the 22nd floor?????
Guess you missed that class at Christian School…or didn’t do your history homework.
Can’t we all just bask in the delicious sweetness of it all?
Its job creation. Never mind the classified ads, check your local obituarys.
I have no money to lose. I’m golden.
Setting the record straight for Glacierman and NME: Judas tried to hang himself from a cliff side tree. The branch he chose wasn’t strong enough and he fell to his death at the bottom of the cliff.
Nothing to link them together at this time. Assume coincidence until other information comes to light.
That being said, things arent great out there, “recovery” is based only on the rich and not the stressed groups below them. Not enough of a base to build anything substantial on, very precarious.
The US government and some canadian provincial governments are very beholden to the shinking base of wealthy taxpayers. Canadian feds are not, but that just means the left will eye that level soon to loot.
No good way out of the situation without a positive shock….like some new high value high volume thing that required domestic manufacture/design/creation. Or magically everyone starts to feel better makes purchases at once.
Yup, Obi Wan Kenobi you are our only hope.
I agree. Coincidence unless there’s other info.
On your second point, energy intensive jobs have been “reshoring” and relocating to North America. There’s many stories in the last couple of months about Europe starting to panic over the energy cost divergence between NA and the EU countries. If energy realists can beat back the carbon pricers there could be more jobs for blue collar workers and their white collar support staff. Automation is a factor but machines require builders and maintenance.
One thing that I find curious is that the same people who try to convince taxpayers that every dollar “invested” in the creative economy is multiplied X times over will minimize any blue collar job increases. Not that the latter should be subsidized but I wonder if a similar calculation is needed: every dollar of unnecessary regulation removed from private industry results in X times economic benefit.

I don’t and never have done “home work”, when you score 90+ grade averages with just attending class why waste ,yer time beating yerself up at home.

there is NO way of verifying any historical accounts pre-book days, most accounts stand on their own merits and so should be taken with a grain (truck-load) of salt. This especially so in belief systems as there are/were those who would falsify/change things to suite their own agenda. A classical example of this was demonstrated in a discussion about historical references to Jesus, of 3 examples that existed, 1 appeared to be credible, 1 was questionable, and the 3rd was one that the RC church admitted to “creating”. The real question here would be why did the church feel the need to “lie” by creating a faults historical account? And as we “speak” there is an interesting discussion happening concerning the “flood” story, as an ancient tablet that archeologists state is older than the biblical account, recounts a flood and mentions “animals”, 2X2, and all. So from my perspective, not only is all historical accounts open to question, but religious history as told by it’s believers especially so!!
Twofer!!
During the 1930s my mother-in-law worked as a maid for a rich family in Winnipeg. The fellow was a investment/banker and one day he did himself in. Presumably many of his investments and or those of his clients had gone bad.
a lot of them are helped by a little nose candy while in Mexico
Help me Andy, theres a monkey on my foot
Moses wrote the first five books of the bible, however Noah or his descendants (before Moses) could have written about the flood that does not discount or discredit the biblical version of the recount of the flood Moses wrote about the flood he did not go through it. Not to mention all through out history people have not always written everything and documented everything most of that stuff was passed on verbally.
Besides that if you have no faith it doesn’t matter there is no sense in trying to persuade you because while we are different in belief we share one thing humans wrote the bible..where we differ is you believe humans messed it all up Ect Ect …and me having faith I believe that god put those words in those people and had them write it and those texts were put there by god and put together by god using ppl. You don’t you believe it’s fake and yadda yadda only stupid inbred rednecks believe. You having no faith naturally will believe you are superior you have a natural hatred and loathing of religion especially Christianity because it affects your life the most.
It’s all good I know you wish Christians would abandon there faith , I know you would love to see Christians slaughtered in the streets it’s how most atheists are . I get attacked all the time by atheists. They need something to hate and attack . They say they are peaceful but they just can’t seem to leave Christians alone in a Christian country they hate that fact so instead of living peacefully amongst us they try to kill out faith , our culture and ultimately when they fail at that they act no different than Muslims they just start killing us period!!
Good times ahead!!
I remember thinking: Uh oh, somebody forgot to shut the door, when the chief geologist for Bre-X “fell” out of the helicopter.
That was just a few days before they discovered that all the core samples had been salted.
I don’t and never have done “home work”
That is your loss. A diploma or degree doesn’t mean the end of learning. It is only the beginning.
If you’re not learning every single day, then you’ll always be behind the curve.
Ken,
I simply do not see that same level of ‘duty’ in today’s financial advisors. In those days your word was your bond and failing that led to wide discreditation and eventual ruin. Today it is like water off a ducks back.
When you consider the millions employed in the industry a few jumping off balconies should not be interrupted as a movie plot.
JPM has over 250,000 employees.
The average suicide rate in the US would indicate that approx. 45 of them will commit suicide every year.
Are more bankers actually committing suicide or are they just being reported with more zeal?
The FP link didn’t work for me.
There is this report by Doug Hagmann. Before dismissing Doug note that he was talking about Benghazi being a weapons running operation back in November 2012, just after the US Ambassador and three others were murdered – and the smart folk in the media were blaming a video maker.

Okay, this is starting to get freaky – like the bodies that piled up around the Clintons in Arkansas and Washington.
Say what we like about Chretien, but all he ever did was try to strangle someone once.
