Half-Assed Protest At 85 Broad?

By Bess Levin

Picture 1790.png
Not sure what exactly they’re taking issue with (obviously there’s much to choose from), or why this guy get a free pass.
Update: Our photographer informs us the signs read “Stop the injustice at Stella D’Oro,” forcing us to ask, why does Lloyd Blankfein hate cookies?
Update II: Brynwood Partners owns Stella D’Oro, and wants to sell it to Lance, Inc., a North Carolina-based manufacturing and marketing firm, sans the Bronx plant. The cookie makers are upset about this, and believe that Goldman has the power to stop the deal from going through.

    You would think that GS being GS, that their offices would be a lot nicer. Was there last week and I was completely unimpressed. The Lehman Brother’s offices were head and shoulders above 85 Broad. Its disgraceful.

    Half-assed would be a more accurate term…
    At least have the balls to go up and ask them what the pwoblem is and if they want some applesauce to make it feel better

    Why does the guy in the pink shirt think he is such hot shit? Without my taxpayer money he would be living with that “I refuse to use money” guy. Go S a D.

    Lloyd is going to hire a gang of coked up Mexican laser sharks to go down there and pound them in the ass.

    Goldman Sachs is closing down Stella Doro’s Bronx plant and moving it directly into Charlie G’s basement so he says nice things about them on CNBC.
    The folks over at the Sargento factory are praying that Charlie G. doesn’t crave mozzerella.

    they went on strike last year to keep their NINE WEEKS of annual vacation. That concession broke the company so now it’s relocating. Great work, workers of the world.

    @14 this is going to sound gay however I say it. Under Armour undershirts are the gold standard of undershirts. Neck stays tighter than E. Burnetts body even after multiple washings; stays dry and is light. Plus under shirts hide unruly chest hair.

    Who DOESN’T wear undershirts? Those dudes with yellow, corroded pit stains in their white Brooks Brothers outlet shirts who put their hands behind their heads in meetings and gross the rest of the room out? That right, I went there!

    Is Brynwood Partners one of Lloyd’s blood-sucking tentacles, or is 85 Broad just the most likely pace for publicity hounds to protest anything?

    @29, pit stains are an east coast phenomenom. You might want to get out once in a while.

    I dont understand. With no undershirt what do you leave the ladies as a towel/souvenir after pounding them in the a$$?

    @36 standard I think is always classy and like I said before hides unruly chest hair. I am not joking when I say go Under Armour; they are the Goldman Sachs of undershirts.

    OK, as a civilized person I believe in undershirts. And I am very intrigued by the ferocious loyalty of the Under Armour customers here. But i just went to their website, and they have like 50 different models. What the hell?! Is there a model # for a plain old white undershirt?
