    GS commented - story false, they never called to fact check: [nymag.com]

    but I'm sure there must be something else GS related to rage about. Maybe they stopped providing both splenda and sweet & lo? The lock on the forth stall in the 2nd floor women's room doesn't close completely? #goldmansachs

    You think Goldman's keep-jobs-in-town subsidies are bad? Check out the whorish ways Trenton, New York, Philadelphia, and other areas were whoring for BlackRock's new back-office building. Also, remember - that $25MM from the FWTCJCRP was created because the city was terrified that Merrill, Lehman, et al were going to abandon New York. It's all about cultivating the tax base, baby; taxes on those bonuses are keeping New York from becoming Baltimore or Philadelphia, to say nothing of keeping the heavily-subsidized and rent-controlled Garment District in town. #goldmansachs

    @Unsolicited Advice: Agreed. Who cares about cats? Say what you want about Wall Street, but without their mega-salaries and even bigger mega-mega bonuses, half of this city would be unemployed. Do you think the middle-class taxes pay for all of the services that we have, e.g. police, fire department, etc.? Not to mention dry-cleaners, cabs, housekeepers, nannies, restaurants...the list goes on and on. #goldmansachs

    @queenbozaki:

    Right. I should clarify the point here: I'm not making a moral judgement here. But the Financial District is the most important card in New York's municipal finance house - half of the subsidized wonderland disappears when their printed-dollar largesse does. #goldmansachs

    @Motoko Kusanagi:

    I'm not praising anyone - I'm just explaining the Way Things Work. Businesses get tax breaks to keep their businesses in town given the promise of tax receipts from employees. That is factual information about municipal fiscal policy all across America - New York has been uniquely capable of attracting highly-paid individuals and their attendant industries. They've accomplished that with a mixture of brand and subsidy. #goldmansachs

    @braak: I'm not saying anyone has the right to be a shithead - GS said they will pay the vet bill. I agree with you on that. I am responding more to the constant attacks on GS - it's getting tired. Although far from perfect, they contribute heavily to charities and to the New York economy at large, and it's time we gave them a break.
    And seriously - I think cats are as cute as the next person, but an entire article devoted to GS as evil because they were late in paying a vet bill? #goldmansachs

    To be fair-- really more fair than one should have to be to profiteering kitten-haters suckling at the public teat-- the linked story says $20 billion in compensation, not bonuses.

    The idea that celebrity is a sufficient qualification for writing a children's book must die, along with other pernicious forms of brand leveraging.

    Makes me kinda sad about SJP--her stuff was ridiculously cheap and not such crap. I can respect that. Even if I can't respect years of rompers, weird headscarves, and wearing entire bird sanctuaries on her overprocessed hair.
