6. Me too!
And their media spin was trying to make it sound as if they *lost* money. Coming in under expectations isn't *losing* money. They just didn't get as much of a windfall as they wanted. :nuke:

3. Did you read what their CEO's bonus is?
A few million bucks. But we can't have a living wage or even an increase in the minimum wage.

5. A few million as an incentive
