Why, Merrill, Why?

Once in a while, blog entries on here turn into a free for all pointless rant. If you are averse to communication like these, please stop reading. Also, file this under the desperate guy angry at everything about corporate America category. I always had that little respect for the Merrill guys like they were like the chosen bunch, getting things done, bending the rules and of course carting away lots of dough while doing this. But today the mother ship ran aground. Oh yes there had been signs, but if you asked any of the Merrill guys, they had a ready answer, "Dude, this is Merrill Lynch, dude! do you think Merrill Lynch will pack up and leave. We've got deep pockets.
Or maybe not. No kidding I know somebody that has lost his job 5 times in 18 months. To all my people who bit the dust today. Much love, the Ponzii scheme is indeed over. Dude, its Merrill, dude!
