J.P. Morgan : There’s a bridge between New York and New Jersey that was falling down. It took 12 years to get the permit to rebuild it. What is that about?

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon blasts America’s broken permitting system: “It takes 5 to 7 years to get hooked into the grid. What is that about?” 🇺🇸 “Get involved in the fight. You can complain like a child. You can get mad. You can rip your hair out. People laugh when I tell these stories, but it’s not funny. You can’t get permits for the green economy. It takes 5 to 7 years to get hooked into the grid. There’s a bridge between New York and New Jersey that was falling down. It took 12 years to get the permit to rebuild it. What is that about? And we accept it. I wouldn’t accept it at JPMorgan. The American public knows this is going on. They know that various interest groups get benefits from whichever party is in government. They should stop the virtue signaling and deal with what can make this country grow. Create equal opportunity. That was the dream of this country. Three of my grandparents were Greek immigrants who came here without a high school degree. They came here because they wanted to be Americans.”
