Wells friggin' Fargo

I don't know I forgot what he said.

Listen, earlier I went to get a manicure, and they have the tv screens, and Oprah was on. Do you know that I actually sat there for about 30 minutes and got lectured by a BILLIONAIRE, about how our general greediness (it's everyone's fault, therefore, it's no one's fault) got us into this situation, and what we all need to do is relearn what is important in life.

The Billionaire living in a house as big as my town, says those things are family and love!

Well, now I have seen everything. Thanks Oprah, and have fun at your 2 hour oil rub down, brown-sugar pedicure, and oxygen facial after the taping!

Haha! I'm not sure what the appropriate term is when referencing a woman but that takes balls.

I don't even care if she has a family; I'm sure she has people she loves whom she considers family. But this was just beyond absurd. You would have had to have seen it to understand. She was actually lecturing on consumption, materialism, and what's "important" in life.

If she's not the richest woman in America she's close, and as far as what little I have seen about her (not a fan) she is in no way walking that walk.

I only mention that fact because she tells me that family is tops on the priority list... that she apparently doesn't follow. As well as the fact that I shouldn't buy stuff because I have my priorities off kilter.
 
Do you guys realize that the banks getting billions will indeed take care of a lot of democrats. Geeze
 
Oh and, she had a family on there, who appeared not to be living above their means at all, until one of them lost their job and they were down 40% of their household income. They obviously had a good income before that, and they spent it on things like tutors for their children! (excuse you, middle class schmo, who do you think you are trying to prepare your children to get into a good college, Oprah?) and a couple of trips. Excuse you again schmo! Trips are so greedy, and you are stepping way out of your class, who do you think you are, Oprah?

There was a lot of finger wagging, and a lot of use of the word "we". And i kept wondering, what you mean we bitch? Like you are not going on any trips right?

You mean, the common people. How dare they step out of their place. Thank god this crisis came along and now they'll be put back into it. You work, you survive. Life's pleasures aren't for YOU.

Don't be greedy!

Oh, it was sickening. But that's the new narrative, right there, and it's being created right under our noses.

Well any stuff you buy is less stuff available for Oprah to buy.

I've never been a fan of Oprah but I do admire what she has accomplished. Unless she wants to call herself out first it is naseating (sp) just reading what she said.

True that. But then she tells my wife to buy jeans that cost more than $100 because she "just loves them". Good thing my wife just laughs at her.

I admit I got lost on this one. What does Wells Fargo planning this trip to Vegas have to do with banks hiring more (foreign) workers?

Umm you seemed to be alluding that bank workers were in demand or something.
And if they did not get bonuses they would go elsewhere.
