Wall Street titan Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, absolutely crushed far-left ‘Squad’ member Rashida Tlaib during a House hearing with top bank executives Wednesday.
“You have all committed, as you all know, to transition the emissions from lending and investment activities to align with pathways to net-zero in 2050 … So no new fossil fuel production, starting today, so that’s like zero,” Tlaib (D-MI) began.

“I would like to ask all of you and go down the list, cause again, you all have agreed to doing this,” she continued. “Please answer with a simple yes or no, does your bank have a policy against funding new oil and gas products, Mr. Dimon?”
The JP Morgan CEO gave a blistering response of the kind rarely seen in congressional hearings: “Absolutely not,” Dimon fired back, “and that would be the road to hell for America.”

Jamie Dimon Slaps Away Rashida Tlaib’s Climate Demand
On a side note, perhaps one of the most amusing parts of that video clip in my mind is the fact that Tlaib mispronounces the word ‘Celcius’ as ‘Cell-uh-sis.’
At least she tried.
On a more serious note, Rashida Tlaib didn’t take kindly to Jamie Dimon’s response, urging people on the receiving end of student loan handouts to close their accounts with his bank.
“Yea. That’s fine. That’s fine,” Tlaib sputtered in return. “Sir, you know what, everybody that got relief from student loans [that] has a bank account with your bank should probably take out their account and close their account.”
Yes, because a successful banking executive is sure to lose sleep over the loss of accounts coming from people who didn’t have the fiscal responsibility to pay back their student loans.
Whom do you think knows more about economics and prosperity: Rashida Tlaib or Jamie Dimon? If you think the former, you require a mental wellness check. https://t.co/ASUnZ7dpsC

Tlaib continued her attack: “The fact that you’re not even there to help relieve many of the folks that are in debt, extreme debt because of student loan debt, and you’re out there criticizing it.”
Indeed, Dimon criticized the President’s student loan bailout plan as being “badly done” and said he did “wish they had targeted the people who actually needed help.”

“We basically put a Band-Aid on, spent a lot of money, and didn’t fix the problem which will now be ongoing. So please, give it a fix,” he quipped.
And, frankly, why would a private bank “relieve” the debt of public debt holders? The ‘Squad’ seems to not understand anything at all about economics.
Jamie Dimon isn’t a fan of Pres Biden’s student-loan forgiveness. “Badly done,” not targeted to people who need help, doesn’t solve underlying tuition problem. “We basically put a Band-Aid on, spent a lot of money and didn’t fix the problem,” he said. https://t.co/F16Y6H7jgc

The Others Rejected Her, Too
After throwing her little tantrum, Tlaib then went down the line of bank executives at the hearing and each one said they would continue to invest in oil and gas as well as alternative energy projects.
Which seems like a reasonable approach.
Critics of Tlaib’s scorched Earth policy to combatting a scorched Earth point out that all energy options must remain open and any transition to cleaner options must be a gradual one.

“These transitions take forty years,” American financier Kyle Bass said in a recent CNBC interview. “The move from coal to natural gas took forty years. They take a very, very, very long time. We can’t just flip a switch.”
Good for Dimon! Really triggered Tlaib with a big, fat dose of reality from her delusional Green New Deal fantasyland. https://t.co/Gs1tPW4ZLM

Not to mention what these wish list restrictions from environmentalists have done to the supply of oil and gas, leading to exorbitant prices.

But that’s not what is important. What is important is that people like Tlaib can pretend they’re saving the world at the expense of American lives.
She is just and righteous, and you, Jamie Dimon, need to come around before it is too late.

When come to most subjects the Squad is dumb as a sack of rock. They think that the world can still move forward without fossil fuels and law enforcement.
As for economics, it is easy to tell that Brandon’s cabinet is clueless.
It is apparently what the majority of Americans want. It is hard to enjoy life when one has above average intelligence. We are surrounded by idiots.
So, the DemMarxists put red lipstick on a pig, but we can still identify the pig.
sorry lady , oversized glasses don’t make you any smarter, in your case , potty mouth ,
you don’t belong here
Please stop calling gutter trash “lady,” it denigrates ladies.
About time someone slapped some sense into these ” Green Energy ” morons, as it is right now, the infrastructure, and Technology, to switch to all Electric, green Energy , has not been developed. “The People’s Republic of California ” sets a perfect example, they now rely on Solar, Wind, and Hydroelectric Dams to provide their power, but everyday experience Blackouts and have Rolling Blackouts to try to keep from overloading the system, most states do not have places to build Dams. The Cars cost anywhere from $40, 000 to 150,000, which most people can’t afford ( forget the Rebates , they don’t really make a Impact ), even used will be outside manys budget when you add in the Battery replacement cost of $8,000 to $50,000 for a new Battery ! Solar for your Home is so expensive, not many can afford it also.Then look at the environmental damage that will be done, Windmill and Batteries that are not Biodegradable, polluting. The lands, as well as Millions of Acres of Trees being destroyed, to build the Wind and Solar farms ( after all who needs the Oxygen they produce right )
I fail to see the connection between fossil fuel and student loans.
she’s a few quarters shy of a dollar
Yeah, like four.
Once the left gets to their net zero carbon on planet earth, we will all be long gone and so will they. The trees need the carbon to convert into oxygen for us humans to breath. NO CARBON, NO OXYGEN. What happened to follow the science?
THey’re just useless grifters. They’re incapable of meaningful contributions to even THEIR OWN societies so they come here and attempt to guilt the best of the best. lmao
GFY ya useless *unt!
