[Hedley]

... for losing only $11.67 billion.

I am not making this up.

...but Hedley, how does this relate to Canada being a banana republic? I'm so confused... I was beginning to see a common thread in every post you make...

Also, I would like $10 million. Very much.

[Hedley]

I would like $10 million

Obviously, first you need to lose 11.67 billion
of someone else's money

Yeah well, wait till we see how much severence the CEO of GM gets. My guess is negotiations start at around $100 million. Didn't he get $180 million from Home Depot, or was that another guy?

[Just another canuck]

100 million, 10 million... bunch of greedy fucks.

I could just use 1 million or even 100 g's... even 10 g's right about now would be nice. That would make me happy.

Once I get laid off, I'm going to apply at all of these companies, and offer to run them into the ditch for a tenth of the CEO's salaries.

EI will like it. They don't care what position you apply for, they just want to see you looking for work.

The only way out of that mess would be to raise the minimum wage to a family wage level of at least twenty dollars an hour.

Won't that just cause massive inflation and drive hundreds if not thousands of small buisnesses into bankruptcy, further deepening the crises currently enveloping us?


Oh, you were being facetious. Sorry

Anybody seen that e-mail making the rounds with the guy holding the sign that says Jump You Fuckers! I think this would apply here.
