      And because corporations aren’t people, here’s the CEOs that ran things during 2014:

      Hans Vestberg (b 1965) Verizon

      Randall Lynn Stephenson (b 1960) AT&T

      Glen F Post (b 1952) CenturyLink

      We let these people act with impunity in our society but it doesn’t need to be this way. Look at how Elon, who thrives on attention, flips out over being tracked and heckled. They stole hundreds of billions from us but we don’t even act like it.

      If only there was some tool available to the government to hold these companies accountable to an agreement. Like some way to document what needs to be done in exchange for the money and be able to receive the money back if that isn’t performed. Oh well.

        That’s rank communism and I’m going to report this because our poor mistreated billionaires shouldn’t have to read it from their mother ship Yacht!
