Why is it so hard to be a part-time bank teller (or to get any job)?

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Is 'athlete' a metaphor or are you really implying bankers are in shape? I assumed metaphor til you mentioned the supposed paucity of actually physically fat bankers

no, literally. healthy mind, healthy body.

who knows, my ecosystem might be different from KH's. from what i hear they're slender there too, although that might in part be due to the frequent coke consumption.

Yeah but those who are client-oriented or back-office types like KH?

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Oh, in my world the back-office people tend to be lazy 9-to-5 contract monkeys. You'll find quite a few bigboned people there. I was talking about the people on the frontier.

Well anyone with client interaction should be attractive. Your statements then are about as uncontroversial as there's few fat people in retail.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Mind you, there are few 'customers' in this world any more. Quite a few traders work with their own/their boss's money. It's just the scumbags at banks that have both customers and their own traders. When a big transaction is about to go through for the customer, the 'own' traders are alerted, and front-run the client transaction. Customer loses, bank wins.

[Al B. Sure!]

So what's your point about physical attractiveness again?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I've been to the pits and posts quite a few times, never saw a single one.

There you go. Have that one on me.

[ZEE]

KH is GS.

And I guess statements like this makes his blood pressure go up.

i think the best part is that he works for a firm whos sole purpose is to beat the market. the same market he claims is infallible.

but to be fair he is a smart guy so there gotta be something we are missing. maybe he has discovered that the best **** suckers are ayn rand high schoolers. maybe between thos cow eyes there was a magic tongue. would explain why 90% of her followers are dudes.

I'm not an expert, nor have I extensively studied this (feel free to add "I noticed") so I pulled this definition off of wikipedia that pretty much sums up my opinion of it: "Market failures can be viewed as scenarios where individuals' pursuit of pure self-interest leads to results that are not efficient – that can be improved upon from the societal point-of-view." I'll admit that it is not as clean as yours in a mathematical sense.

That's just a different way of phrasing precisely what KH said. "Efficient" in this case pretty much just means "not Pareto optimal".

Pareto efficiency doesn't allow for any wealth redistribution.

[Provost Harrison]

Too easy. You made a similar joke like a day ago.

Well it never grows old...because it was already f**king ancient

"Sell side". Look it up.

You're a ****ing idiot.

why are you sucking this idiot's dick?

Genius Clique wanna-be. Like HC and gribbler, apparently.
