Boy bankers and their toys

31 December 2010

NEW YORK - Wall Street executives may face smaller bonuses and a public that still eyes them with suspicion, but that isn’t stopping them from rediscovering their love of luxury cars, oceanfront homes and private jets.

A soaring stock market, a surge in merger deals and an uptick in hiring on Wall Street are allowing bankers to gradually return to the lavish lifestyles they enjoyed until the 2008 financial crisis came crashing down on their party.

Despite talk of bonus cuts, many businesses that cater to bankers’ whims, such as the luxury car dealerships on Manhattan’s Park Avenue, are teeming with Wall Street suits.

“Even if they are worried about bonuses, their egos are involved here,” said one dealership manager, who said requests have been filing in for $225,000 crimson red Ferraris and $170,000 Audi R8 convertibles.

1. In class warfare.

you have to look at the distribution models of talents.

Hence why 1000 cuts is the primary method of the working class.

With salt of coarse

:D

I think it is best not to fight, when fighting.



Remember we got the spoon. :)

Side note, this comment is not about torture it is to use the effects of a curse, to show how that stuff works, the post is to create a feeling so that feeling can be explained. It creates a concept of fear. It is an effect of a curse to get people to think that stuff is happening to them, then it depends on the person how it effects them, and depends on protections also a faith concept. Note the use of fear things, the mark comment scares many of many religions for example.


When someone of faith sees something like that they laugh at it, when someone without faith sees it, it can scare them.

That is how the supernatural and curses are used against people. Taking the spoon is explaining this.

2. Probly a bad idea to park some of those on the street in certain
neighborhoods which may have been devastated by banksters.

I hope they get everything they deserve in the coming year. And quickly.

3. Wonder why I had to find this story in a newspaper from Abu Dhabi?
I don't recall seeing it in any of the US papers.

5. What I want to know is how does someone go about getting one of these jobs?
Got to know someone or what?
