  1. Those people work harder.

    Are you really going to say that welding is harder than being Jamie Dimon? :confused:

  3. What would you do as soon as you had your first meeting with other JPM executives, each of whom has decades of training? You think your 6 months of training could stand up to the scrutiny they would put on every word out of your mouth?

    It's all nice to think we're all special and could do anything we set our minds to, though.

    Yes, I realize you're being facetious, but the sad thing is that there are people who really believe this. And they vote.

  4. I once worked for and had a somewhat personal relationship with a pretty wealthy guy. We exhanged ideas occasionally and you know what?

    I don't even think like a person who has money. :D

  5. It's a good question...My guess would be (knowing full well just how liberal, corrupt and union the state of Illinois is), that they had a handful of politicians in their pockets that gave them taxpayer financed concessions, probably figured out ways to "convince" them not to re-locate back during the bubble years when the state was running up billions of dollars of debts.

    At some point, new politicians came in, the state budgets are destroyed and there are no more "perks" to staying in the state and so every option is on the table at that point.

  8. I don't know about Dimon's job but I do know it takes longer than six months to become an expert welder.

    if that were true argentina would not have gone bankrupt. the central gov't takes overs the debts of the states until the country, iis bankrupt.
