It’s Quiet. Too Quiet.

By

Picture 1617.pngAs you’re aware, today is AIG’s annual shareholder meeting. It’s being held at the 72 Wall Street building, adjacent to the insurer’s 70 Pine Street headquarters and as of just past ten, we’re told there’s been nary a peep or sighting of protesters in the area. The only people camped outside are reporters, looking lost. Does no one care anymore? Not even the Pink Ladies? We don’t blame them, and this isn’t the first time they’ve failed to bring their A-game, but we’d think today of all days would’ve been identified as the Big Moment. And yet, it’s looking like even the PL’s can’t get it to raise a stink or poster board. We’re told Hank Greenberg does have something planned, but it will require the assistance of able-bodied men to rig him up in a harness with the intention of flying across the stage, Snowflake in tow, and so far he’s got no volunteers and the damn dog won’t get into his matching latex costume.

      Love that picture.
      Also, for those who care, new messy stuff dribbling out from that hole – re $200 bio worth of protection written to european banks – that could have a “material adverse effect” on results. How nice.

      As a taxpayer, and a defacto owner of AIG I’d be protesting against myself. It just doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

      @5….MBA is better. More chances to rip off someone in person.

      @5 mba but only if you get a nicely laminated ethics card with it, otherwise i would choose the 2 week mcdonald intermediate management course

      There are some people in front of Goldman chanting:
      “The people…together…will never be defeated”
      Might ring more true if they got more than 15 people to show up
