In other words, you were skimping on your equipment so that you could pad your paycheck and now that you can't hide that fact anymore, you are being forced to actually do something about your equipment. Typical corporate scenario.

But, I bet that Bill and his fellow corporate leaders won't be surrendering a cent to correct their own actions and inactions. I would be willing to bet the farm on it. They won't be taking any pay cuts and they won't be selling anything off to pay for their hubris. The rank and file? That is another story.

Because the rich don't get punished. They just get rich. They get to do whatever they wish because we are too programmed to believe that they are the anointed ones.

I suppose one day that we will figure it out. That supposition is growing less and less every day, though.
