Citigroup, Inc. Message Board

A. Our "politics" have more truth and value than any of the gossip about C here, or on ANY message board.
B. This is how we wait for the next round of lies and thievery.
C. You don't like our twisted rants? Don't read 'em!

schmucktor, the ONLY thing I didn't have was family connections...and if THAT'S the "'mercan dream" of which you speak, then it ain't "mercan" at ALL, because every corrupt cleptocracy on this diseased planet runs the exact same way. And spare me your Horatio Alger claptrap; you can feed THAT fiction to your brainwashed teenagers.

you are cordially invited to leave your modified shipping container and just see what we have for a work force...you obviously don't get out much...its better to pay 'em to stay home...their presence at any "job" only acts as a disincentive for all the other "workers"...but then, 50 years of having sunshine blown up their ashe about all the goodies they can have if they are good obedient slaves contrasted with the discordance of the reality they endure every day...well, it looks like half-ashed is the best you're going to get from your poisoned American employees. And giving them more pay isn't going to solve it, it will just get eaten up by the blown-out and spiraling rent increases, property tax government gouging, and all the early-releases reverting to their petty theft and extortion rackets (and I'm not talking about the Insurance Octopus).

OhBlahBlahBlah has great speaking skills! Who reads the promptor is IRRELEVANT! The majority of "conjobgress" have been on the job through 5 presidents, and the administrative bodies are all filled with CAREER (read: they CAN'T be fired!) employees.

The direction of the "administration" has NOT changed because there is a new face at the teleprompter.

Your vote is just a wet finger in the wind.

The dialogue on this board PROVES the 'mercan edjjucational system has COMPLETELY failed. (Or it proves the mentally challenged vastly outbreed the resources necessary to bring them up to even minimal standards. Take your pick.)

Don't you just LOVE how the Yahoo Censor bleeps "dichk" from Cheney? That's true progress! In a year or two I expect "Cheney" to become an obscenity too...e.g., They can all go cheney themselves.

Over here in TX we pride ourselves on how carefully we crafted ALL our laws. Rich people are free to do anything they want...and...poor people are free to work for whatever someone wants to pay them and free to be humble, obedient slaves. Let's hear it for Reaganomics!

Such a negative Nellie! Why can't you see the UP side? E.g., in 30 years all the government entitlements will have expired (that's city, county, state, & federal pension and healthcare mandates...NOT Social Security) or will have dropped to near zero from pure attrition. And in 30 years, JP Morgan's huge pile of national debt in bonds will have either been retired or written off. And in 30 years, the entire population of the USA will have been reduced to panting, wheezing treadmill hamsters, subjected to medical experimentation, and furthering the acceleration of the of the afore-mentioned attrition. In that same 30 years, the entire population of the USA will have taken on a decidedly Asian caste, with a little Hindi and #$%$ thrown in for variety. So, the enslavement of the human zoology will stretch out a bit longer and, you, white boy, can just kiss your dreams of global domination "GOOD BYE!"

Well, I be one of dem dar that's thinking it be time for our reparashuns for all that slayberry. 'n dose tricky white debils donce gets ta do no offsets for edjewcashun or hopspittle costs, 'cause they ain't spent on dat and its da pruff. Nossirreee, we bin gibbin 'em hip hop 'n gangsta rap 'n dem drug pusher blues...and we wants r reparashuns for dat dere slaybyerry. Prays Rev.King and god.

If they get caught cutting into the Drug Enforcement's customers and profits, we'll probably have to nuke 'em!

Well, another way to see it:
Black Unemployment...22%
Youth w/o Rich Parents Unemployment...20%
Hispanic Unemployment...14%
White Trash Unemployment...15%
Bankers, Media Spokesholes, NPR...3%

Things are just hunky dory in SOME circles, thank you very much!

And, of course, as soon as airport delays kicked in, there was a very Uncharacteristic Rush to "bipartisanism", to pass a bill...and OhBlahBlahBlah held his nose, noted how distasteful it was, and signed it. You see, he's a member of THAT club now. I would guess, just off the top of my head, that air travelers constitute 3% of the general population.

Now, you be sure to breed some more loyal, obedient-to-god slaves...otherwise we're gonna have to import 'em from MaxiCo and China. You wouldn't want this country to take on the characteristics of a third world country, would you? Oh, and be sure to shut down all the unions.

Lunatic real estate churn, Law Firm of Stripem, Flippem & Crow does the cookie-cutter paper work, Arthur Anderson's mutant children are doing DR Horton's accounting, and when "prices are up" and "rents are up" that only means "real estate investment trusts" (which, contrary to the Supremely Stupidest Court, are NOT people) are churning your little slave butts into toxic butter....AGAIN. Real Estate Musical Chairs...it is NOT entertaining...all you hyper-active hamster-hell crawlers should be forcibly medicated and/or incarcerated.

Ok...I'll bite: What is the activation price for that buyback? $10.25?

IF it falls to $2.50, they'll start to sop up the float instead of doing another r/s?

You need to see the terms - and post 'em - BEFORE you start your little celebration!

Hahaha...ohhhh that IS funny. And who said those stiff old sod tuckers in Parliament didn't have a sense of humor.

Hey, there, ConstantTinyBrain, if the "poor" would just stop breeding like some kind of mutant fungus, then the rich people wouldn't have to invent new ways to kill your worthless selves off! And, while it IS cute - if naïve - that you BELIEVE the education you got would raise you up, it is a pure fact that if your momma or daddy weren't a member of some privileged mafia "temple", you're gonna be one of the most educated WalMart greeters in history. Now, get with the program: Wrap It Up! The USA just wishes it had China's poopulation, then Morgan Stanley wouldn't be stuck holding the bag on 50 years of iffy bonds. As it is, we're gonna have to double imports from MaxiCo just to begin bringing down the debt from the last war. So, PLEASE quit whining and be a good, obedient slave. Zeig Heil, baby!

and then again, sometimes they get a tad vindictive.

There is! Its called: HIGH FREQUENCY TRADING!
