I Refuse
I refuse to answer one more opinion poll over the phone. I refuse to listen to one more robo call explaining to me why I have to vote for a particular politician. I don’t ‘have’ to vote for anyone. I refuse to fill out one more survey requesting me to rank current issues in order of importance to the country. If they don’t know what is important by now, they never will. I refuse to...

The big news today is the $2 billion loss JPMorgan Chase & Co. racked up in the past six week period of time on credit derivatives. CEO Jamie Dimon stated the derivative bet was “flawed, complex, poorly reviewed, poorly executed and poorly monitored”.
