  • After reading that NYT article on what went on while Epstein was affiliated with JP Morgan, they have a lot to answer for. They knew enough to understand crimes were being facilitated, and they actively subverted normal bank procedures in order to continue facilitating those crimes. They were literally consulting with Epstein about how to run the bank, hiring decisions, dealing with scandals. Epstein was serving jail time simultaneous with working as a consultant for JP Morgan executives. The whole thing is sketchy as fuck. JP Morgan did not have anything like a normal business relationship with Epstein.


  • Getting your credit score up can have benefits. My credit was destroyed after my bank scammed me and I couldn’t pass the background check to rent an apartment. I literally had to bribe a landlord with an extra $1k deposit just to rent an apartment. That’s just one example but there’s many more. The world is increasingly stacked against those with bad credit, and in favor of those with good credit. It really is in your interest to game your score up with a low limit card.














  • If I am being paid to do a job all I really care about while I’m working is doing the job. I might judge people for their failings and look down on them for being shitty, but I really don’t care because I’m just there to do the job I’m being paid to do. I might feel bad if people are talking shit and spreading rumors about me or whatever, but I don’t give a shit because I’m at work to work. If people are slacking off and not working when they should be, that is an issue for management to deal with. If people are spreading rumors and creating disruptions with gossip and drama, that is an issue for management to deal with. I care about doing the job I am paid to do, anything else going on at work is not my problem. I don’t think I’m actually that thick skinned or anything really, I’m just maintaining basic professionalism in what is supposed to be a professional environment.

    To me it sounds like you have shitty management and shitty coworkers. You can try to be a catalyst for change in a more positive direction if you want but it might be better for you to find a more professional workplace. Also, I do think if dumb drama and gossip at work bothers you this much finding a job with fewer coworkers or a more independent role would probably be a better fit for you.






  • That is a great point, we know for sure that Gates was friends with Epstein. I recall it even being in the media that one of the reasons his wife divorced him is because she found out about their relationship. It seems very plausible that Trump is blackmailing Gates, and others at that table. I know at least Brin has a reputation and rumors around him. Altman also had that accusation from his sister a few years ago, but it was never substantiated to my knowledge and I believe it turned out she has a life long severe mental illness that makes her delusional. Regardless, these are rich and powerful guys who no doubt have lots of things to hide and Trump is certainly not above coercion, I’d say he even enjoys it.
