Before we get too obsessed with this silver balloon…
Let’s not forget what else happened in the news today: JP Morgan Chase reported $3.6 BILLION in profits in the 3rd quarter. Goldman Saches reported $3.2 BILLION. Major US Banks and securities firms are planning on paying $140 BILLION in compensation this year. Goldman alone will be paying $20 BILLION in BONUSES ALONE. That’s an average BONUS of $700,000 per employee.
For fuck’s sake.
$20bn in bonuses.

I could watch that balloon all day on CNN.
