16 hour days on WALL ST.? BFD! How about 16 hour days in a war zone?

1. Pennies on the dollar!!!!!

but USA, USA, USA...

Yup, that's how they think...

2. A cheap shot in the back of the head with a beanbag gun...at close range.

Ask Pat Tillman...no wait. You can't. And besides he was shot between the eyes by his own men when he started to question the war.

3. I've pulled a few 14-16 hour shifts in my time.

Ones much more physically demanding than those fuckers on Wall Street would EVER condescend to do. And I know plenty of people in the trades, nursing, etc who have done this too.

Wall Street is a bunch of whiny-ass baby-men.

4. Indeed.

What exactly is the Wall Streeter's intrinsic value to the human race?

5. Why do the people who are first to contradict Marx's labor theory of value want us to give a shit...

about their time?

I don't give a flying fuck at a donut if they spend every fucking second of their miserable fucking lives behind their desks. They're certainly not doing it at my request or for my benefit. If they're looking for someone to be grateful, look elsewhere, because as far as I'm concerned they can choke on their own shit and I won't be any worse off.

6. stockbrokers doing nothing productive for 16 hours a day.

No, I take that back. If they did nothing all day, they would damage the economy less. Jesus Christ. It's like professional crap shoot players complaining they deserve millions of dollars from the casinos they play at.

7. Amazing. They do a bit of overtime serving absolutely no one but themselves, and think

they deserve a cookie for it.

Congratulations, bankers-- some of you occasionally put in long hours to steal more money for yourselves. How incredibly selfless and noble! :eyes:
