in an apocalypse, it won't be the poor people that die. they know how to deal without and are accustomed to adaptability. i hate most of my clients. alot of them will die because they tried to steal from the wrong person, etc. but just as many of them are clever enough to find a way to live. i can't say the same for the majority of middle class society.

it will be the sheep of society that are led to the massacre, and like alex, i truelly do believe it's coming.

Down with civilization!

AND UP WITH TITS!

or with ass, like we saw last night at Bash's...damn.

god damn... that bartender girl knew it too... there is no way in hell that girl didn't know exactly what she was doing... haha

I still do not think we are getting the "transparency" that we were promised.

The majority of Americans now think that AIG is some big, bad wolf without even knowing that the people receiving bonuses were asked to work for very small sums of money during the hard times. As compensation they would receive bonuses when the money was available.

Reading the letter from Jake DeSantis to Liddy spells it out better than I can: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/25/opinion/...antis.html?_r=1

keep in mind these are not bonuses, this is a way to give fat cash not included in the salary

i'd love to see the contract that says your bonus is guaranteed no matter how shitty you run the company

that's not a bonus, that's a flex salary.

Thanks, that's all I needed from you.

So if a company fails, that relieves them of obligation to every employee? Are you all for those companies that basically close down, lock the doors, and don't so much as let the employees back in to gather their belongings? And as you said, if they earned the money without failure then they deserve what they're entitled to. The overall failure of the company is not an indicator that every single person in the chain failed in their job, or didn't meet their bonus requirements. Note that nowhere in any new article does it mention that every employee of AIG received some kind of bonus.

uh, ok


Which people's bad decisions? How on earth do you know which people's bad decisions resulted in the company's failure, and if those correlate to people who received their contracted bonus?


No, it'd be like you going to vegas, having the casino guarantee you a couple $1000, then not giving it to you because someone else broke the bank.



Jealous much?


I would love to actually.

I confirmed AIG pays out bonuses based on company performance.

haha "computer scientist"... mmmk

so ask her the details then if she's so privy to all the executives contracts (doubtful).

highest command always takes the blame. their fault. goes with the job. sorry that i have to explain the most basic of social understandings to you, dumbass

but you don't know for a fact that the people who were paid were only the "highest command". show me a list of the people who were paid and their positions, and their contracts. then you can bitch and cry all you want and join Obama in his executive witch hunt designed to pull your attention away from how stupid his decisions thus far have been.

and no need to apologize, I've gotten used to you and your buddy Will's childish need to add ", dumbass" to everything because you think it brings some sense of validity to your posts.
