DIMON: 'Something went wrong [with education], and the leaders collectively are responsible'

Jamie Dimon is worried about a lost generation.
The CEO and chairman of JPMorgan has spoken about a "national catastrophe" in education, and a generation that has been left behind.... 
"There's always going to be an elite. You can have an elite in a communist society. It is the leaders, something went wrong, and the leaders collectively are responsible.…"

A little trivia ... Dimon's paternal grandfather, an émigré from Smyrna (in present-day Turkey), changed the family's last name. It was originally "Papadimitriou." Easier to blend in was the reasoning for the change :)

I bring it up because I still recall, this was at the start of the GFR, some guy in some economics blog (I forget the name, and I doubt if it still exists) raving about a Jewish conspiracy to control the world, or something stupid like that. Anyways, in his list of Jewish conspirators which he so kindly shared with us all, were the names of Jamie Dimon and the then CEO of Morgan Stanley whose name right now escapes me. Now obviously the guy was nuts, and I really wasn't going to bother telling him he was nuts, but I just couldn't resist telling him this: "Hey Dummy! Jamie Dimon is of Greek descent and a Greek Orthodox Christian; the other guy is not Greek but, like Nassim Taleb who is not Greek, is also a Greek Orthodox Christian."

Dimon is talking about himself.

He is the most politically powerful banker, head of the largest US bank and world's 6th largest.

Lastgreek: Thanks for that. I had also heard that Diimon was Jewish.

Was it that moron, Mike Stathis, lastgreek? Fucking guy had Mike Norman in one of his pictures with a Star of David on top of his head. I didn't get what his deal was with him. Claims to have the #1 leading tracking record in the world and claims he got blackballed by "the Jooooooooish Mediaaaaaaa." Even thinks Joe Rogan is Jewish. Come on. Lol.

A friend of mine on YouTube and I make fun of him all the time. Even if this isn't the same guy you're talking about or some other clown like Andrew Anglin, he's still someone who came to mind and gets so pissy when anyone calls him out on his bullshit, even editing articles about himself claiming whatever people wrote about him is "libel."

Excuse me, pp, for the late reply... I don't recall neither the site's name, nor the guy's name. It was an American site though.
