That has been discussed already-I boycott these corporations in my personal life but cannot dictate that to customers-who I advise to shop around for the best opportunity. Ironic maybe, but not everyone has the education/skills/drive and is able to take the risk to "sometimes work for free"-especially people with children and families to feed.
Who is your employer, if not a corporation?
Dont seem to be boycotting them very well.
I wonder how many bank repo's you've sold and earned commissions on..
i want to know how someone who works for FREE, can run around whining that others deserve a high minimum wage..
From my perspective the only people whining are those scared to death by just imagining these lowly employees receiving a couple thousand more a year-all arbitrary figures like minimum wage that you cling to and say should never be touched despite production and profits and the fact that our middle class has been obliterated by the allegience of nationless corporations and our government.
Remember, studies show that we are envious to those closest in stature to ourselves- so in reality people are not especially jealous of a CEO making hundreds of Millions per year because they cannot relate to the lifestyle, but they would be jealous of say a corporate wage earner making an additional and more tangible $10,000 per year. I think this thread has proven that to be true.
For a job that requires a College Degree-absolutely.
I worked at Prudential Financial when I first graduated College in 2009 and was paid $13 an hour-everyone was and there were hoards of us "recent" grads. I was not able to purchase my home and grow my wealth (really become integrated into the economy) until I got a much better job. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall and "the temps" were there for years and years. I would say most Millenials are in the same boat considering that over 9/10 express desire to own a home yet the rates of such have plummetted.
The fact of the matter is that you profit off of such companies as Wells Fargo while telling us how bad they are.
This argument makes no sense. It is lacking in dimension. Reality is not cartoon, 2D.
Everyone participates in commerce.(I didn't see a claim of evil either)
Because these big banks (8 holding companies, especially) own a great deal, people are dealing with them in some fashion whether they like it or not. Many would be surprised at who owns what behind the veil.

"In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network," says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
2e already said he chooses to prioritize his customers needs, but has a preference. Nothing wrong with looking at a system, criticizing, questioning and discussing it. This is part of the process.
As a real estate agent, wouldnt you work for a "pirate" corporation? And on commission, with $0 wages?
The irony in telling others they need to pay more while you often times work for free isnt lost.. This type of humor cant be bought.
Most real estate professionals are Sole Proprietor. Ask the IRS.
