Who is Jamie Dimon?

  • New York Banker: 14%
  • Texas Congressman: 9%
  • X-Games Skateboarder: 7%
  • Daredevil Motorcyclist: 4%
  • Don't Know: 66%

And that, as they say, is that.

66% is highlighted, but in reality, at least 86% of those surveyed didn't know. Those who chose the other wrong choices did so because they didn't want to look stupid by choosing "Don't know", so they randomly picked another answer. You could probably shave off a percent or two from the 14% who got the question correct just to dumbass luck.

Plad, 

You are on target with this observation.  I work part time in an ER in a SEC college town and cannot believe the number of students who come in to be treated (for various reasons) who are on two or THREE antidepressants/psych drugs/ mood stabilizers.  It is an epidemic that does not bode well for the future.

Snake's picture

The use of antidepressants/psych drugs/mood stabilizers in the US, and more and more all over the world aping US culture and economy, is a direct result of the last two or three decades of "work" by the pharma and insurance corporations - in cahoots with a medical system – bent on selling.  To sell they medicalize (i.e. transform an every day event into a medical problem), and sell a medication to "solve it".  Think, since when this barrage of tv advertising for medication for this and that? Psy medication is not used to stabilize the very very few true cases where it may be needed, but to - while selling – “cure” masking symptoms, that of course appear as new symptoms somewhere else.  True psy therapy, "talk therapy", is considered not only expensive, requiring a long treatment, but in many cases subversive...  Of course it’s also true that these days more and more people, especially young people, are becoming keenly aware of … things, thus becoming - in the best of cases - depressed.

"I hope for America's sake this survey was taken at some mental institution"

It was.  It was taken at the General Publicarium facility.

Wanna' know how they can get away with all of the fraud and theft they do and why we constantly end up with front men for the oligarchy every election year?  This survey makes that clear.  Frankly, I'm surprised that 14% knew the correct answer.

My thinking as well.  I'm encouraged by the 66% number.  I would have guessed around 80%, but then the other options offered skewed the results.   An outright question requiring an answer would have gotten us about 98% wrong answers.  Multiple choice in this instance was not helpful to seeing a pattern of ignorance that prevails.

I have no idea who Snooki is.  On a related note, my sister, who was in her late 30s/early 40s during the Clinton administration, could not name the Vice President.  The Vice freakin' President.  I would say her political and economic awareness is near the middle of the bell curve.  Probably slightly, but only slightly below average.

I don't necessarily scoff at this poll nor its almost logical outcome.

But it is a reframing:  could TD, or anyone else, tell us who actually owns JPMorgan Chase????

Or Morgan Stanley???

Or ExxonMobil (hint: once known as Standard Oil Company)?

Or Citi or Bank of America?

The latest rumblings, recently spewed forth by Mitt "the twit" Romney or Rmoney, accuses Iran of pursuing nuke destruction.  This first began with "leaks" from a guy named Chris Mellon, a Deputy Secretary of Defense during the early Geo. W. Bush Administration, who left that position when Mellon Financial was merging with the Bank of New York to form the Bank of New York Mellon --- so that would be Christopher Mellon of the Mellon family!

Or how about BP?

JPMorgan Chase, according to SEC litigation releases over the past decade plus, has performed in the same criminal manner regardless of who their CEO crook happened to be (remember their hiding billions in loans to Enron as commodity trades years back???) -- so they always reframe it to ignore the owners, the senior capital pool owners, the "philanthropists" --- and to concentrate on their easily replaceable lackeys!

Nothing to see here, move along please......

I believe you are all cutting your nose off to spite your face.  The key to our survival (you and I) rests on our ability to still own our guns when the complete shitstorm hits.  I feel somewhat confident that the piece of crap with the "R" stamped on it will let my guns alone while I am equally confident the piece of crap with the big "D" stamped on it wants to and will go after my guns.  It's a no brainer what to do.  Don't show up and a smaller and smaller minority gets to put the chief on the throne.  Whether you vote or not, one of the two previously mentioned pieces of crap will end up on the rug in the oval office; the results of the poll in this article proves that beyond a doubt.  Don't forget all the little pieces of poo (senate/congress) that accompany the big shit, also.  Our gun ownership rests with the "R" stamped pieces of crap.

Call me what you will; I firmly believe this.

Voting for 3rd parties is the only vote that makes sense...if you don't like the current paradigm. While many say it's a wasted vote, in most states any party that gets 1% of the vote for a statewide office (US senator, governor) gets automatic ballot access in that state...no more standing on sidewalks gathering signatures just to be able to run. A baby step forward toward better choices down the line.

Who is Joe Biden?  He's the man who introduced Obama this way:  "A man I'm proud to call my friend.  A man who will be the next president of the United States...Barack America."  (Of course, he also spoke these famous words into an open mike during Obama's healthcare signing ceremony:  "This is a big fucking deal!")

Joe also said about Obama, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."

This poll should pretty much end any debate about the merits of democracy; or how, all it takes is a little education, and the people will see the light and vote for fundamental change.  Democracy, my friends, IS the problem: Japan, U.S., Europe-- all democracies.

Republics aren't near as much fun for the oligarchs, too many rules, too many limits..

Democracy, well, that's just a matter of paying Peter with Paul's money, until Peter can no longer be satisfied. Paul goes Galt, Peter swarms into the streets burning whatever is left.

Yay Democracy.

Trust is the problem.

Jamie Dimon and animals like him  are monetizing that trust.

The paradign shift we have now entered into will be complete when that trust is so ruined that it will not return for generations.

"Who was Genghis Kahn"

What are you talking about? - Real Americans go to Walmart. Real Americans buy the cheapest goods possible. Real Americans don't want your fancy non-poisoned meats or to support their neighbors' businesses. Real Americans do so because Real Americans buy bigger and more, because bigger and more IS quality.

Captain Cook went on 3 trips around the world, he died on one of them, which one?

A: none of them.

B. the first

C. the second

D. the third

E. all of them

 

In multiple choice test America I guarantee you A, B, C, and E would all have some idiots choosing them - despite the blatant illogic/impossibility of those choices 

There's a reason they had to recenter the scoring for  SAT's.  Even starting out with 200 for just putting your name down, the average score for each section was in the 400's and dropping (out of 800).  And as soon as the scioring was 'adjusted' educators started touting the 'improvements' in student scores....
