I think the point here is that shitty performance should equal shitty pay, but that doesn't seem to be the case with these banks. They reap the rewards, but offer nothing in return. It has little to do with envy.

True, but $6.5 million compared to $20 million? American CEO's are still overpaid.

Some major technological innovation perhaps?

You consider that a spike? You haven't been trading for very long have you?

+1 Finally, someone who "gets it".

Only because no regime can be trusted to print just enough money to reflect the amount in gold reserves. A fiat currency system can work, but someone needs to tell congress that they can't have anymore money.

Within the last 13 days since the thread was started? Doubt it.

How long ago? Engineers, on average, haven't seen an increase in salary in terms of real wages since the early 1990s. They're notorious for starting at a high salary early in their career and then hitting a glass ceiling 5-10 years later. You may have made $145k, but that's definitely not...

55% of those in college are women though, possibly higher. Although most of them go for stupid liberal arts majors, nursing, or to get their "M.R.S." degree.

He clearly lives in Fantasy Land. I live in Florida. Even a few hundred miles northwest from here, you couldn't afford a 3500 square foot house on a $35k/year salary in the Alabama backwoods. So, I call bullshit.

Where your brother lives, $35k likely isn't the median salary. It's probably closer to $25k. Can someone who makes $20-25k afford the same things? Doubtful. In fact, someone who makes $25k probably couldn't even afford a 1200 square foot house and one kid.

Still just a symbol. I'll leave symbols to the symbol-minded (George Carlin). Honestly, I'd be more worried about people like Rahm Emanuel whose father was an Israeli terrorist, not some crazy-ass Nazi wannabe. This guy is no different than the hillbilly vermin who reenact civil war battles...

Yah, the Iron Cross is so hated in Germany that it's still in use today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Barracuda_av_dr.jpg

LOL! In Florida Until Tuesday. Call Svitri At: 001 34 832 2735623023 If you need anything!

Fools. If they were smart, they'd be buying ammunition. Not silver. Silver corrodes over time anyway, unlike gold.

Unless you live in the middle of Wyoming or something, it's highly unlikely that anybody could afford to do that, except for doctors. The 20% minimum down payment would be fine and worked very well for a long time. Require 100% cash and real estate prices would plunge. It'd get pretty ugly.

I have a degree and took all the bullshit econ courses in college. I understand perfectly how it's supposed to work "in theory". You claim that "we keep the highest paying jobs here". I call bullshit. Engineering, accounting, and programming were once high paying jobs. Those can easily be...

The US will look like something in between Mexico/Brazil and what it currently looks like, as will most of the world. The ultimate goal for these corporations is to eliminate every inefficiency that once existed in the market. Without those inefficiencies, the little guy won't stand a chance...

Umm, profits? Cheap labor = greater profit margin The economists will spout some bullshit about comparative advantage of course. Thing is, those "cost savings" don't always result in lower prices for the consumer. Same with union/non-union labor in the construction industry. Non-union...

Why would anyone hire a CompSci grad when there are plenty of Computer Engineering majors in need of a job? Computer Engineering > Computer Science
