Summary from the Daily What:
[quote]Sign Of The Times of the Day: “Midwestern mom” Lucy Nobbe, a VP at private equities and investment firm Wedbush Morgan Securities, paid an aerial advertising company ~$1,200 to fly over Wall Street today with a banner that reads “THANKS FOR THE DOWNGRADE. YOU SHOULD ALL BE FIRED.”
“I originally wanted to fly it over Washington, D.C., but learned that you can’t do that,” Nobbe told Fortune‘s Dan Primack. “So I chose Wall Street instead, but didn’t specifically intend it to fly over S&P. I’m just a mother from St. Louis who feels the only reason we got downgraded was people in politics.” A friend of Nobbe told the New York Observer the message was directed at both Republicans and Democrats.
Nobbe asked The Daily to make it clear that her views did not reflect those of her employer.[/quote]
Gotta love the direct approach.
what
America being pissed that they can´t live the lie anymore.
Oh sorry, you guys call that `Living the dream`(For white christian males)
Shouldn't she be like....saving her money, considering the financial crisis?

I think the point she was trying to make was it's all of the politicians fault for us even [b]having[/b] one to begin with.

First thing you hear when the country is being ruined economically, interest rates are rising, everyone is losing money and the first thing that came to her mind is to purchase a $1,200 useless sign?

This is pretty much 100% true. Haven't you guys ever heard of Blagoiavitch? You know, the governor in Illinois who embezzled a ton of money?

This is basically covert embezzlement from the american people. Politicians drive up interest rates, banks make more money, banks fund reelection campaigns.
It's true. All the nut sacks in Washington should be fired.
Except for maybe Ron Paul. He's a tax payer's best friend!

Well she wanted to fly it right over DC but that's apparently illegal or some shit, so she settled for Wall Street.
She did her damnedest to make it semi-useful though.

It's not useless, she's speaking almost everyone's mind.
All Facepunchers should pay 1$ for a billboard in the middle of Wall st.
Shouldn't we be the ones rioting right now? To try and throw out the crappy political parties and institute a no party policy?
Sometimes I wonder if it's time for a second American Revolution.

Then, do you realize you're being melodramatic?
Maybe not a revolution, but some more riots here and there wouldn't hurt.
that's more like it.
Well some riots that wouldn't destroy property and not hurt people would be nice. But really thanks for the down grade Washington, you all should be fired then barred from reelection if you directly caused it.

So a protest/sit-in.

DING DING DING DING!!!
Riot =/= peaceful protest. Riots are for scumbag anarchists.
I'd protest if other people were down for it in my area.
The only physical harm I would ever do, unless it turned into another depression, would be in self defense, really.

Yeah, and Obama's not exactly helping either.

Figuratively.

God I fucking hate guys that say shit like that.
No, there isn't some sort of gigantic amount of racism in the USA where people that aren't white christian males can't be rich, I don't know when the last time you...well, learned anything was, but that hasn't happened for fucking ages. I know you guys are angsty against the USA, and are given more reason or fire to hate against it currently what with the problems we're going through, but it's just fucking embarrassing to see you guys saying shit that you don't know anything about.

hurr ur so edgy.
Here's a box to put some of the extra edginess in.
How much is semi-permanent ad space on Wall Street? We should all chip in and give them a nice, big picture of a torch and pitchfork mob to remind them what will eventually happen if they keep trying to fuck us and line their own pockets.
