Another major CEO sticks it to conservatives

[bongsaway]

Every product with tbe trump name on it is made overseas, that is globalism...

I would suggest you check with mycroft first, he may disagree.

 

[Cameron]

You use propaganda words, of course. You're not 'moderate', you support plutocracy and radically corporatist leaders like Jamie Dimon, while progressives are not 'far left', they are mainstream FDR Democrats who support a strong middle class and oppose plutocracy, and that's enough but their policies also happen to have majority support, unlike yours. You're the proverbial horse led to water who refuses to drink, just like the trump cult.

The irony of accusing me of using “propaganda” words like moderate when your posts so far have consisted of meaningless name calling and zero substance. This is why the far left is the smallest of the ideological groups in this country.

 

[Cameron]

What is weird about?

One can see the problem with the system, and yet take advantage of the situation.

He could give all his money away and have little to no impact. It is the role of government to change the problems, private industry is meant to make as much money as possible. The government should work to make the negatives of capitalism smaller for those it would leave behind ( handicapped etc)

Yes there are a lot of people who think the system needs to change but why should left-leaning CEOs martyr themselves when their GOP counterparts sure as hell won’t? The government needs to make the change, not individual CEOs and it is idiotic to criticize those lending their considerable gravitas to the notion that wealth inequality is a problem for not doing enough. If Dimon turned into Bernie Sanders tomorrow he’d be replaced by someone else and then where are we?

Your comments are just projecting your issues, and I think it's a waste of time to interact further so don't plan to.

Guess you thought you could just have that pithy jab at moderates that started this conversation and I wouldn’t call you out. Get back at me if you are ever interested in having a serious discussion about this issue, rather than just alienating people who are mostly on your side.

Conservatives like to brand themselves as the party of business and the free market. But this increasingly seems to be unrequited love. Business leaders are increasingly turning against their ideas on lack of regulation, law, and order in the name of “freedom”, their exclusionary racism and bigotry, their isolationism, their denial of science and resistance to public education and other public goods, etc.... Social media are shutting them out because they can’t behave themselves in the public arena. Corporations are punishing Georgia politicians for their recent attempt to reinstitute backwards and Neanderthal racist policies in that state.

Most recently, one of the leading CEOs of the country has warned of the destructive effects of conservative policies on this country:
————-

“Jamie Dimon is very bullish on the US economic recovery from the pandemic. And yet the JPMorgan Chase CEO is deeply concerned about the future of America.

In his annual shareholder letter Wednesday, Dimon wrote that the Covid-19 pandemic, the "horrific murder" of George Floyd and the painfully slow economic growth of the past two decades are all symptoms of a broader problem: "inept" public policy and broad government dysfunction.

"Unfortunately, the tragedies of this past year are only the tip of the iceberg — they merely expose enormous failures that have existed for decades and have been deeply damaging to America," Dimon wrote, adding that the nation was "totally unprepared" for the deadly pandemic.


“The fault line is inequality. And its cause is staring us in the face: our own failure to move beyond our differences and self-interest and act for the greater good”, he said.

Dimon's letter, which includes a roadmap for how to get America back on track, comes as business leaders face pressure to provide moral leadership on major issues in the face of dysfunctional government, ranging from climate change and voting rights to inequality.

Corporate America's willingness to engage on Georgia's controversial voting law led Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to warn of repercussions and former President Donald Trump to call for a boycott of major American brands, including JPMorgan.

“The fault line is inequality. And its cause is staring us in the face: our own failure to move beyond our differences and self-interest and act for the greater good”, he said.


Dimon laid out a series of what he sees as root causes for America's issues, including short-term thinking, an overreliance on economic models, media hype and partisan politics.
"Our problems are complex and frustrating — but they are fixable with hard work," Dimon wrote.

He laid out 15 policies leaders should focus on, including improved wages for low-skilled work, training for jobs, making it easier for those with a criminal record to get a job, better fiscal and tax policy, reforming social safety net programs, reviewing regulatory red tape, modernizing infrastructure, intelligent industrial policy and proper immigration policies.

“While I have a deep and abiding faith in the United States of America and its extraordinary resiliency and capabilities, we do not have a divine right to success," he wrote. "Our challenges are significant, and we should not assume they will take care of themselves." “

Wow!

Its not just the corporate bankers. It’s American business in general. They have had it with Trump and the GOP’s antics. It’s bad for business.

“In a survey of CEOs on his call, Sonnenfeld said 100% of respondents answered "yes" to the following question: Should CEOs warn lobbyists privately that their firms will no longer support election result deniers in Congress?

By doing so, Sonnenfeld said the business leaders hoped to spread the message that "it's time to move on and respect the Constitution." He said participants in the gathering, who were granted anonymity, ranged from finance to manufacturing to the pharmaceutical industry.”

Dimon is a dishonest, two faced, hypocritical son of a bitch.

Wall Street loves socialism for bankers, but not for ordinary people | Robert Reich

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon decries socialism. Unless of course it’s the banks that need a government bailout, says Robert Reich, former US secretary of labor

www.theguardian.com

He should shut his ****ing piehole he went to the government with his hands out and you claim its bad for business? Its jackholes like him that are bad for business, they engaged in corrupt, dishonest, borderline illegal activity. That asshole should be in jail not crying about policy.

You just described how our crony capitalist system works. ‘Grats.

Corporate America plays a critically important role in American life. But like anything, it needs checks, balances, and oversight, to prevent abuse, fraud, monopolies of power and money, and exploitation. That comes from government. Unlike the right, we don’t believe that all will work for the best if just left free and unregulated. Competent government plays a critically important role in American life as well. What makes America great is actually the checks and balances between all these powerful forces, not the elimination or trashing of one or the other entirely.

Grats? We have corporate shills on both sides but knowing Dimon's background you still agree with him.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

If he said the sky was blue should I disagree and say it was green?

People you don’t like for a variety of reasons can have the same views on a variety of issues and a person can disagree on even more

I look forward to all these woke CEOs practicing what they are preaching. Now that they have found their social conscious and have made it publically known that they think those things are immoral and unethical they now how an obligation to be part of the solution. If you talk the talk you are expected to walk the walk.

I look forward to them voluntarily making all their manufacturing plants environmentally friendly across the globe.

I look forward to them giving all their workers significant raises.

I look forward to them placing minorities on their boards and into executive seats.

I look forward to them voluntarily making reparations available to african-americans for slavery

I look forward to them voluntarily bringing a higher standard of living to places like central america by investing in those parts of the world.

They have the power to make changes and now that they have awoken its time they start doing their fair share of the work.

No, I liked it when Katie Porter clowned him. But I’m sure *you* agreed with *her*.

This may be a surprise but I was against TARP bailouts. Those clown ass MFers went gambling and wanted taxpayers to foot the bill while they cashed in. Morally wrong and repugnant.

I get that the wisdom was that the entire financial market would crash, but the wisdom was also that people wouldn't default on their mortgages....the wisdom was whatever the big money wanted it to be, essentially.

It use to be the Republicans especially the blue blood country club types had a great relationship with the globalist elites. They were there to fill their coffers for re-election. But that has been changing since the formation of the Tea Party. During that time Republicans were fleeing the party becoming Independents. It was during the Tea Party movement the calls to shut down the Chamber of Commerce began because their very wealthy lobbyists found all kinds of Republicans that would accept their generous contributions to their campaigns in turn for voting for legislation favorable to the globalists and down right harmful to our country and its people for which they were suppose to be looking out for.

Today the majority of the Republican party is now the party of America first. Those who are not tend to be globalists, never Trumpers and neo-cons. Over the past 4 years the Republican party has grown greatly with blue color workers and folks who can no longer support the far left swing in the Democrat party while the Democrat party is now aligning with the elites and globalists.

 

[Aurora]

The Globalists, like Dimon, have kept quiet for the last 4 years...for good reason, since Trump has been spanking their asses left and right...but now that a globalist administration is back in power, they have to make up for lost time by pushing their propaganda.

Dimon won't be the last one to spout off in favor of of the Harris-Biden administration.

When Dimon spouts off like that, he should look in the mirror.
