    So across all consumers and small businesses, Chase has 86 million customers. If the CEO distributed all his pay, everyone gets $0.14. That’s not going to solve anyone being poor, and not going to help you if you have shitty spending habits.

    For all the shitty things banks do, knocking them for actually advocating someone good for once seems counter-productive.

      It’s not about giving away money. It’s about an entity that grossly mishandled money on a large scale having the audacity to give advice to others on handling money.

      Worse, they’re giving micromanagement level advice regarding the money involved with a cup of coffee.

      I assume you read about 15% of the response before deciding to push your glasses up on your nose and “Um, akshually”.

      It was about more than just CEO pay.

        Add in the $12 billion, and everyone now gets $140. Still not going to help them.

        Go after the banks for some actual shitty things they do. A money lender telling people to spend responsibly is the opposite of the things we should be going after them for.

          You know what we can do for 12 billions? A lot of useful things instead of bailing mega-rich banks that gamble money because they know they’ll get a bailout anyway.

          I can’t speak for anyone else here, but I wouldn’t say no to $140 from Chase if they were my bank. That’s grocery money.
