Damn apples, going a little hard here. Not that he is suggesting anything.

He is right though. it's not just one man. It's a Yes man. A figure head. A sacrificial lamb. They want someone who will say yes to the greed of their corporate executives and the shareholders. They will find a new one, and tell him to lay low for a while. And once the dust settles it will be back to business as usual.

United took down their board of directors page. They are trying to hide. Don't let them.

I was gonna say “someone will have screen shot them”…and there you are.

What’s wrong with publicly naming and shaming? The other side of the coin is that pushing policies that shortened the lives those they agreed to insure is “going a little hard” for capitalism.

Just because there are more steps between a board vote and a flatline than there is between a firing pin and a brainpan doesn’t make one act legitimate and the other criminal.

(ps you are obviously on our side, but we refuse to cede an inch of the societal gains made by the recent grassroots corp restructuring)

Will do. And thanks for the reminder. It’s always good to “stay ready and keep your powder dry.”
