Alright people. This is it. If the sight of Goldman Sachs employees voluntarily handling garbage doesn’t stop the hate, they’re going to have to go to DEFCON 1: blow job booth, manned by Blankfein.

The Salvation Army plans to serve 10,000 free dinners across the city this Thanksgiving — meals planned by a star chef, cooked by one of New York’s ritziest caterers and cleaned up by employees of one of Wall Street’s most vilified financial firms. The number of meals is 10 times as many as last year and come at a time when more and more Americans are struggling to put food on the table.
Three hundred employees of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Wall Street’s richest firm, have volunteered for the holiday feast and will be tasked with taking out the garbage.

“Goldman wants their volunteers to sweat,” joked chef Marc Spooner, who at 6-foot-6 towered above a recent tasting session for the meal at Great Performances’ kitchens in the SoHo neighborhood.

    @1 they found out they would have to handle trash and be close to the poor huddled masses yearning to be rich.

    @5, allow me to explain.
    3=anti-Semite addressing 1, assuming that 1 is a fellow anti-Semite, and that Goldman MDs are all MOT — and that, the Salvation Army being a gentile outfit, they would have dropped out — which is patently absurd.
    PMDs are, however, all MOT, as they should be.

    Lloyd in the BJB is just a negotiation. What I really want is he washes my feet and declares a special dividend.

    @8 as a gs employee who is getting a gs bonus I can tell you no, I don’t appreciate picking up trash.

  13. Posted by guest | November 20, 2009 at 5:34 PM

    @5 I resent being called an anti-semite you Jew bastard. Examine your motives.
    Very simply, it seems that Lloyd will make any and every effort to show he’s doing God’s work. I’m somwhere in the city the atheist Thanksgiving dole is starved for volunteers. Of course the 272 managing disciples who got their papers on Monday are excused from the fun.

    @12. come back with the number when you get it. I am curious whether the pitchforks come out or people just get really jealous here

  15. Posted by guest | November 20, 2009 at 7:31 PM

    @14 the number is 10,000,000,000

    Why do GS employees hate black people?

  17. Posted by guest | November 21, 2009 at 2:30 PM

    bc they are ethiopian jews?

    I don’t think people have looked at this closely enough. It’s only 300 volunteers from Goldman, a company that employs thousands. They sent their secretaries and trading assistants to do the dirty work.

    But have the top 50 executives volunteered so that they can see the results of the raping and pillaging of America that they have wrought.
    If they really want to make a difference, lets see them act as GOD and force these changes through the Securities and Exchange Commission so that we can accurately see who is responsible for what is really happening here in America.
