Rep. Katie Porter asked billionaire bank CEO Jamie Dimon to explain why he can’t find the money to pay his employees a livable wage.

In US news and political news, members of Congress questioned 7 CEOs from big banks in Washington, D.C. last week. With money in politics, dark money, and Super PACs on eveyrone's mind, Congress pressed the banking leaders on many issues. Among those representing the big banks and Wall Street was JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Rising star in the House of Representatives for the Democratic party Katie Porter pushed Jamie Dimon the issue of a livable wage and minimum wage. Porter detailed the budgetary math of one of Dimon's employees on his bank's minimum wage by explaining this worker's wages and then budgetting all of their expenses.

Spoilers: He's not going to think about it

[thatthomasguy]

She's the one that got us coronavirus testing for free. This woman is a national treasure and is clearly passionate about what she does.

“I don’t know. I’d have to think about it.”

Translation: I don’t care. When can I leave?

[LesProductionsLuu]

Legends says he’s still thinking about it.

[glenntk]

telling a bank CEO "this is a budget problem you cannot solve" is probably one of the best roast i heard someone says to a banker xD

[md-erwz]

You can tell she's actually passionate about what she's doing not just a paid off suit, god bless her

[davet]

im not even american but i see this woman standing up to these crooks a lot lately, go get them.

[rohanjeetdas]

"Sir what's your name"
"I don't know, I'll have to think about it"

[ahmedsufiyan]

What he is saying: *I don't know, I'll have to think about it*

What he is actually saying: *When will this be over?*

[blackbird]

Katie Porter is smart, strong, optimistic and aware. She's the way forward.

[andreserra]

Never did I realize how expensive it is to live in America until now.

[danweber]

Love this woman, this what it looks like when your senators and representatives work for the people and not the "citizens united people". Keep it up Katie your killing it!!

[BankruptMonkey]

"Why can't she live within her means" Rep. just told you they didn't even include medical fees or school lunch or other basic necessities and they still don't make enough money to get by in life

[FREEFROMITALL]

"Im just here so I dont get fined" Is what his answers sound like.

[-...................-]

"Are you worthy of being the CEO?"
"Are you worthy of being human?"

him: IDK, i have to think abt it

[obviouslytwou]

So basically she's just explained in clear maths how everybody is kept in slavery.

[dduffy]

I absolutely love Congresswoman Katie Porter, she fights for everyday Americans. I just wish more everyday Americans knew that's what they actually are.

[themousemage]

This never gets old. Completely stunning. Respect.

[RejectedSpiritX]

Correction on the last statement. It’s not that it’s a budget problem he CANNOT solve. It’s a budget problem he WILL NOT solve.
In any case, Katie Porter is my hero.

[jmoya]

I love how she busted out a full fledge white board and marker...I think she even had an eraser ready lmao she’s badass
