It’s so cold outside today, I saw a Wall Street banker put his hands in own pockets!!! (New York: mortgages, living)

Some weather we’ve had these past couple weeks here in the city. With these below freezing temperatures, everyone has been annoyed and limiting the time they go outside. I never thought I’d see anything good come out of the frigid temperatures lately, but today I had to go down to the Wall Street area to meet with some friends.

While I was down there I saw something that changed my whole perspective on the cold weather, all these Wall Street guys had their hands in THEIR OWN COAT POCKETS!!!

I could not believe this because for years Wall Street bankers have had their hands in OUR pockets! And by OUR I mean us working New Yorkers who have to work for a living.

I could not believe this development! What a nice change for once... I hope these Wall Street guys continue to forget their gloves when they go to work so they can leave us working people alone

So what would happen if they left you working people alone? Would you still be considered working people?

Im sure the fresh baby he ate in the morning kept him warm and fuzzy on the inside.

What would be the source of funding for BoogeyDownDwellers financial demands if the banking and financial services industry picked up and left NYC?

I like the extended setup

I bet they had very nice coats too since that's been a theme around here... Loro Piana anyone?

[Principle Lewis]

Did you like his coat?

F**k his coat; this is my new favorite thread. I want pictures! I want this on YouTube, so get video, too. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Wealth and resources does not come because Wall Street guys are gambling on stocks.

It’s the result of production by workers. We grow the food, build the buildings, staff the stores and restaurants, etc.. I think we’d be fine without Wall Street types gambling away our 401k and pensions, dishing out subprime mortgages, and whatever other awful stuff their up to these days
