Ha, good point.
There were several others, but at least a few got banned.
I would say issues were discussed more, but l avoided this sub like the plague.
OT - just saw stat saying Trump was getting 1/2 of his donations from small donors(<$200) , even with Pacs tallied.
Huge departure for GOP
A lot of it was we had more people posting then frequently. If you go back and look at some of the Bush 2006-Obama first term threads you can see a bunch of different people posting in them.
You need 20 different accounts agreeing with you so you win the forum.
Gotta be careful not to give it away though. That’s why I’m treco, Aragorn, Mufasa, marine77, and Pat.
And Mick…
Chris C sees this and does a few sledge swings in order to fire up the ban hammer muscles…
I do love whack-a-mole.
Wait. “Whack?” That’s racist against Italians.
It’s cool. I’m Italian-American, so I I can get away with saying it.
Whack a troll, surely?
Totally right H. That’s why arguing is so important!
Great point. Sorry forgot the password I use for this account for a second when I logged out as Aragorn.
So so good
Holy fuck.
GE should have stayed in their industrials lane.
Financial services (and fancy accounting) has been a deal with the devil.
If their account manipulation is genuinely like this, they are the devil.
The important thing is that we have enough loopholes that a corporation like GE can skirt paying much in taxes. Thank God for that.
But for that, they’d have been bankrupt ages ago! We can’t have that!
Let’s just pray if some higher ups go down that they get massive severance packages. Without it some of them may be forced to sell a few houses and yachts.
Think of the children!!!
If you look at Markopolos’ and McPherson’s bona fides… GE is screwed. They wouldn’t be making these allegations with their names attached if they didn’t believe it and have real hard evidence.
They even claimed they turned material over to law enforcement. What do you think the chances are that these two would risk the lawsuits from GE investors and criminal prosecution by fabricating the 170 page report?
He was right about Madoff, he was right about Forex market price fixing. When he drops stuff, people go to jail.
The bitch of it is their jet engines and other products are really damn good. How many honest engineers, QA guys, factory workers etc… are going to be hurt by this bankruptcy when they did a good job?
This is just further proof that a conglomerate adds no value that investors can’t get for free by simply buying stock in companies in different sectors.
Here here.
Well, I’m off to buy some more gold tomorrow…
