NEW YORK — Since President Trump’s election, Jamie Dimon has emerged as one of Wall Street’s most prominent voices in Washington. The chief executive of JPMorgan Chase serves on the White House business advisory council and is chairman of the powerful Business Roundtable.
But in a series of calls on Friday to discuss the big bank’s quarterly profits, Dimon vented his frustration with gridlock in Washington. “It’s almost embarrassing being an American citizen … and listening to the stupid s— we have to deal with in this country,” Dimon said in one conference call. The inability to make headway on significant legislation is “holding us back and it is hurting the average American. It isn’t a Republican issue; it is not a Democratic issue.”
Dimon has resisted calls from shareholders to step down from Trump’s business council and fell short of criticizing the Republican on Friday. “We have become one of the most bureaucratic, confusing, litigious societies on the planet,” he said. ” … And at one point we all have to get our act together or we won’t do what we’re supposed to do for the average Americans.” [....]

Dimon?
He can stick a sock in his pie-hole along with his base salary of $1.5 million and additional cash and stock-related instruments.

Not a time for class politics - yes, there are CEOs and business owners who make a ton of money - deal with it - it's always been that way and likely always will be. As for Dimon & 2008/9 bank payouts, that's a different matter, but the left will forever be anguishing over the fact that some people are rich.

The point being Dimon is rich like thousands of others. More concerned about the political wars going on.

Peracles... My point is...
Dimon should get less coverage in the
public sphere than these folks here...
