[dixiegrrrrl]

Posted without comment................

Jamie Dimon, whose eight years atop JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) have made him one of Wall Street’s most powerful leaders, said he’ll start treatment for throat cancer, raising new questions about succession plans at the biggest U.S. bank.

Dimon, the company’s chairman and chief executive officer, told employees and shareholders in a memo his condition is curable and that he’ll continue running the firm “as normal” during eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment will start soon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, limiting his travel, the CEO said.

“The cancer is confined to the original site and the adjacent lymph nodes on the right side of my neck,” he wrote. “Importantly, there is no evidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.”
The illness will revive questions about how the panel would theoretically handle his succession, said Ralph Cole, a portfolio manager at Ferguson Wellman Capital Management Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

[The Magistrate]

1. Good, Ma'am --- I Suggest Surgery....

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to hoist the black flag, spit on his hands, and begin cutting throats.'

"Let's hope it's nothing trivial.'

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. "Let's hope it's nothing trivial.'

Very Parker-esque.

[The Magistrate]

13. Basil Fawlty, Actually, Ma'am

Never noticed your signature line before, by the way --- I love it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Basil...but of course!

and they say the brits have no sense of humor. Ha!

[lostincalifornia]

4. Why would you want it to be complicated? Doctors do not discriminate

but I guess that doesn't apply to everyone

[The Magistrate]

5. I Suspect The Malignancy Commenced, Sir

When the statement he as a banker was doing God's work while expelling thousands from their homes and worse passed through his throat....

With any luck and a just God, it will be painful and terminal.

[lostincalifornia]

7. Well you are entitled to your eye for an eye wishes

[The Magistrate]

9. Once, Sir, A Student Asked The Master, 'Should One Repay Evil With Good?'

He replied, 'With what, then, should I repay good? Repay good with good; repay evil with correction.'

[EvolveOrConvolve]

10. You believe a just god inflicts pain and death?

That, sir, is not very Christian of you to say.

[The Magistrate]

11. I Am No Christian, Sir

And often pain and death can be the visible signs justice has been served, whether by human agency or divine.

If one believes in divine agency, anyway....

[roguevalley]

24. I rather believe that two messages are being sent to him from the beyond. First, a body

at war with the soul will always die first and this is his wake up call to grow his spirit. I don't expect him to. But he has the opportunity to learn that no matter how much dough you have, it is never enough if you don't have your health. His evil just blew up in his face.

[The Magistrate]

25. An Interesting Take On It, Sir

[lostincalifornia]

12. Keep in mind just because someone is not Christian does not mean they wish ill

On others, and not everyone is Christian

But I get your point

[cali]

16. tart it up with whatever clever language you wish, it's still dog ugly.

[The Magistrate]

18. Clearly, Ma'am, We Have Different Standards Of Beauty....

And I have never seen much value to pretense of loving enemies and miming sorrow at their misfortune or downfall --- I consider such behavior repugnant, and to reflect very poorly on those who display it.

[REP]

20. ... I love you

(Appropriately, of course)

[malaise]

21. +1,000

When I first read about this I thought about all those persons who died since the banks destroyed the economy.

[alcibiades_mystery]

26. Thumbs Up

I would have stopped at GOOD.

[madinmaryland]

2. Cancer does not discriminate. It does not care who it kills.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

30. So many carcinogens have been supported by JPMorgan

Carcinogens do not discriminate! It would be nice if the 1% started realizing
That fact, huh? There is only one world.

[Skittles]

6. wishing him the best

I would never wish cancer on anyone

[lostincalifornia]

8. Exactly

[sarisataka]

15. I lost my step father

Just over a year ago to cancer. Very similar to this but it had spread to the lungs and brain before detection.

I wish the best to anyone battling that horrible disease

[bullwinkle428]

17. Being a man of wealth and means, I'm completely confident that Mr. Dimon

will have access to the very best possible medical care this country has to offer, and I wish him well in his fight. I also wish that EVERY American had this same kind of access to quality medical care.

[flamingdem]

19. A very good point. Obamacare has done a lot to

even the playing field, at least.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

23. "Obamacare has done a lot to even the playing field"

And people like jamie dimon want to get rid of it!

[REP]

22. For what it's worth, it's due to HPV

So, not so much about caring about Michael Douglas or this fuck, but if you notice swollen glands, chronic sore throat, difficulty swallowing even if you're young, not a tobacco user, etc - see a doctor.

[valerief]

28. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. nt

[LuvNewcastle]

31. That was my first thought.

I hope he gets the cure he deserves.

[valerief]

32. Which is no cure at all, of course. nt
