GFCI 12 Financial Report

[Henry Hill]

I love Philadelphia. I find San Francisco awkwardly boring.. And how does Philadelphia fail? We are awesome xD. We don't need lists some loser from San Francisco made to prove that we aren't awesome. So how about you kiss my ass

Anyway, know those things I listed that we "bay area jackals do", I'm about to go and do one of them and go for a swim. You can choose to sit here and have yourself a fasting

You're confused. The fact that Philadelphia may or may not be considered a financial center by a magaizine or a group means absolutely nothing to me, honestly I could care less. What bothers me is all the SF residents on this site posting articles and rankings that I guess substanciates SF as a major player.

Give us a break already.

I agree rainrock . Then they act as if they are better than other people.

Oooh, more chart porn! So out of the US cities on the original post:
New York, Chicago: Global Leaders
Boston, Washington DC: Transnational Diversified
San Francisco: Local Established Player

Philadelphia has Lincoln, which is enormous, but overall it just doesn't stack up to these other cities in this particular industry.
