The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

There is an arrogance among many titans of industry that is grating. Just because someone is a fantastic bank CEO or wonderful at running an airline does not mean that those skills and qualities extend into politics or, for that matter, absolutely anything else!

Far too often when these people speak about other topics they beclown themselves, and injure their companies. Just look at the rush to embrace DEI that consumed many of the largest corporations in America. They implemented it, it bit them in the ass, and many are now running away from the policies that they proudly proclaimed would propel their companies into the modern era.

That is the conceit of power...that the skills that propelled these people into positions of influence in a particular field can be extrapolated to other things...and they are wrong.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon quietly reveals whether he is backing Donald Trump or Kamala Harris

PMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has privately backed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, a New York Times investigation has revealed.

Until now, the chief executive has remained quite about his stance because he was reported to be afraid Donald Trump would retaliate against people and companies.

During an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, Dimon faced backlash after he said Trump had been ‘kind of right’ about some economic issues, such as tax cuts.

The New York Times reported that Dimon tried to defend his statement by saying it reflected his respect for Americans who voted for the former president.

He was later forced to publicly deny that he had endorsed Trump.

‘I’m not endorsing anyone at this time. I spend more of my time on policy. What’s the policy we need that can really help both the world, foreign policy, and domestically?’, Dimon said via a spokesperson at the time.

Dimon also reprotley[sic] told his associates that he considers Trump’s 2020 election denialism close to a disqualifying factor.


So Trump is going to retaliate against JP Morgan? I doubt that very much, because injuring the biggest bank in the country would also injure most Americans, and why would he do that? As for Trump's "election denialism?" It's constitutionally protected free speech, and Dimon ought to know that because he is such a brilliant man! You know...a CEO of a big bank that hasn't beaten the SP500 index over the last five years, and also hasn't beaten Goldman Sachs!

And does he really believe that a Harris administration would be good for America? The Green New Deal, which she enthusiastically supported, would be an economy-crushing policy. Runaway government spending would drive inflation, a foreign policy that favors brutal dictatorships like Iran would destabilize the world, and a continued open border at home would be the death knell of America's economic superiority.

But Trump said pussy, so Harris must be better.

Jamie Dimon needs to shut up and run his bank, and stop worrying about hypotheticals that are vanishingly possible. In fact, a Harris administration would do far more damage to JP Morgan than any petty punishment that Trump might (but probably won't) enact. Just think about Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders leading the government's bank regulation policies!

Oh...don't forget about taxing unrealized capital gains! That would crush the banks, but Dimon carefully ignores stuff like that.

These people need to stay in their lanes and do the jobs they were hired to do.

Posted by: Dr. Claw at October 24, 2024 11:14 AM (jbnUc)

75 Dimon's worry may be that the Fed has a rule that no bank can control more than 10% of retail deposits. JPMC controls more than 11% today and wants to grow to 15%. The Fed has allowed all this to happen, post financial crisis of more than a decade ago, and because there is a strong regulatory push to concentrate business at the larger banks.

But if Trump says "enforce the rule", the Fed would immediately limit JPMC ability to acquire banks and limit its growth. Clearly, Dimon wants to set up the bank to keep growing even after he retires.

Doug Emhoff accuser breaks her silence: 'He slapped me so hard'
-
Doug Emhoff's ex-girlfriend has spoken exclusively to DailyMail.com claiming that he slapped her in the face so hard she spun around at a 2012 celebrity event in France.

The woman, a successful New York attorney, is remaining anonymous, but decided to speak out after Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, denied the claims through a spokesman.Emhoff's accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as 'Jane', initially declined to comment on the record. But Emhoff's denial, and his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.
'What's frightening for a woman that's been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,' Jane said.
He's being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.'

It isn't even gaslighting, it is trying to create movements out of whole cloth.

92 Don't know much about Dimon, but generally speaking the same rule applies. Some people are very competent at a given thing, but sometimes stunningly unworldly and clueless about most other things.

With a gun at his head and that of his entire family, not a chance Dimon could intelligently discuss the massive, systemic integrity issues with the 2020 election. Nor could he even discuss the general topic competently, probably. He's probably never given it a moment's thought, nor has any experience with the subject.

Same same with so much else afflicting the society. The brainless default acceptance of the absurd unscientific "climate change" religion by so many people, if challenged, would also produce blank faces and inability to seriously discuss the topic.

Cuban obviously is a very unimpressive guy whose name we know only because of one lucky business transaction. Bill Gates actually did a limited version of the old tycoon's thing of working many years to achieve his business success - but is equally clueless about anything outside his narrow expertise.

169 More breathless mudflinging and norms violated to save "muh Democracy"

(This letter will run as a print ad in The New York Times.)

A letter from mental health professionals on Trump’s dangerous psychopathology - Anti-Psychopath Political Action Committe

As mental health professionals, we have an ethical duty to warn the public that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy. His symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder—malignant narcissism—makes him deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous. He is grossly unfit for leadership.

Trump exhibits behavior that tracks with the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s (DSM V) diagnostic criteria for “narcissistic personality disorder,” “antisocial personality disorder,” and “paranoid personality disorder,” all made worse by his intense sadism, which is a symptom of malignant narcissism.

Detractors object that we mental health professionals cannot render such a diagnosis without first examining the patient, citing the “Goldwater Rule.” We believe that we have an overriding ethical duty to warn the public of the danger this individual poses...

Etc, etc...

233 Jamie Dimon is a sleeze bag bankster crook.

Literally every word out of his mouth is a lie to manipulate the markets so his bank can make money.

E.g., months and years of telling everyone BitCoin was a fraud and a scam and even that, if any employee was caught investing in it, they'd be fired.

Except, they were all secretly investing in it, many using over-seas cut-outs or co-workers.
And he instantly reversed his derision once their ETF application to sell a BitCoin fund was approved.

I'll contribute. In my teens boy/girl parties were a thing. To be invited to one usually meant the guy was acceptable. If the girl was the person holding the party a small gift was required. So I bought Karen (her real name) a Monkees album. She seemed pleased.

Some of their songs were borderline okay, actually. Good enough to give away. To a girl.

NC could become the next FL.

But Mark Robinson is just a controversial figure and probably won't become governor, which is a shame.

Still, Republicans should retain their veto proof majorities in the legislature while gaining most of the other statewide races, so it's not like Stein will be able to accomplish...anything as governor.

318 TJM one side-thought I've been having is that a Trump victory will result in no action being taken on the simply absurd state of election integrity in much of the country.

Of course a Trump loss would likely have the same result?

It's a massive structural disaster. Obviously the GOP, generally, does not care about it - on the state level, where the action is. Even in states they "control", at most pathetic baby steps are taken (not talking about the outliers of OH and FL, where serious action was already taken - though even there more could be done).

Anything - anything - other than the essential formula is inexcusable, and of course indefensible: rigorously policed registries, in-person voting, seriously secure absentees, voter ID, paper ballots, hand or mechanical tabulation with no electronics of any kind, 100% real time digital transparency (video), NO ADJUDICATION.

Each element can help, but without the whole package, you've got a ship with *most* of the hits below the waterline patched, but not all.

Election integrity regularly shows up as some of the most important things to Republican voters, and that's leaking into newer Republican office holders.

VA, for instance, took election integrity seriously after 2020 leading to Youngkin's election in 2021 and serious voter roll maintenance in the state afterwards.

Trump, who has posted things about arresting election cheaters if he wins on Truth, may pursue it as a matter of policy (hinging on AG approval, of course). However, I think most of the changes will (and have to) come from the state level.

As whig has pointed out, voter roll maintenance can be accomplished from outside government through third party lawsuits, and if there is a red wave this year, that will include lower offices in blue and purple states which could make it even easier.

We're not through.

350 RE: Brit socialists & U.S. elections:

Once before, I think it was in 2000, the Guardian promoted an effort to have its readers send personal letters to voters in swing states, urging said U.S. voters to vote against George W. Bush. The Guardian provided a list of addressees (and postage, IIRC). For some reason, I believe the Guardian concentrated on select precincts in OH.

The reaction from U.S. voters who received these letters was so vitriolic that the Guardian announced their letter writing campaign had been discontinued early-- it didn't last long!

367 359 I cannot see Kamala as a nerd. A Circus Geek, biting off the heads of chickens, maybe, but not a nerd.

To quote Millhouse from The Simpsons, "I'm not a nerd, Bart. Nerds are smart."

'US unveils new strategy to lead global AI race' White House memo says US should stay at the forefront of AI development while safeguarding rights and privacy.

In part, "United States President Joe Biden has rolled out new plans to harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) for national security, as the global race to innovate the technology accelerates.

Biden outlined the strategy in a first-ever AI-focused National Security Memorandum (NSM) Thursday, calling for the government to stay at the forefront of “safe, secure and trustworthy” AI development."

Reading all suggested.

That means we can shoot back or even first right? I would take no prisoners.
Also remind the military that we know where THEIR families live.
At the first clash with armed citizens, and watching a few of their buddies go down in a pink mist, most of them won't want to do that again. Dying for a bunch of politicians who might even not be from your party will not be encouraging.

376 Julie Andrews though, despite no pop music as such, is better in range and accurate tonality than either one and could belt out songs with the best of the music hall tradition. Perfect elocution and phrasing at volume while maintaining in tune is something few singers can do.

Posted by: whig at October 24, 2024 12:12 PM (ctrM5)

She has an amazing voice. She can hit the highs without being screechy or sounding forced with a tone I can only describe as flowery, as opposed to woody (which the wife gets) or brassy, both of which are OK, just not as magical.

Yeah, Julie probably had the best voice overall. Shirley Jones was good, too.

And Linda, don't forget, did Pirates of Penzance.

I can't see Karen doing any musical comedy, though.

382 361 357 Isn't Coupling the show with Sarah Alexander on it? I think she's beautiful. Not much in the chest department, but damn, what a face! Nice backside too, methinks.
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus

Sarah Alexander is in several series as lead, the Worst Week Ever which she is the bride to be of the clueless protagonist. It uses the rare technique where each episode is one day in the week before the impending marriage.

She is in the last season of Jonathan Creek as his wife.

385 356 What I find interesting about the groups of the sixties and seventies was the amount of cross pollination which took place. For instance, early members of the Eagles backed Ronstadt. Early members of Led Zepplin we in the Yard Birds, I believe it was.

And so on.

If you look at just The Byrds, those who played in the band and later went on to form other bands, it's an incredible family tree of really good music.

387 I was hoping for a bear market before the election. I think the frothy market is the only reason Kamala is still even in contention.

Sort of like in the 2000 election, had the tech bust happened a few months earlier, that wouldn't have been so close.

402 "Reprotley" means the same thing as "notly" or "unly".

For instance, "OJ Simpson reprotley murdered his wife" would mean he didn't do it.
