    It’s fair enough. They have done such a brilliant job of managing the company that they deserve to be paid bonuses from the emergency loan they had to take out to stop the company going bankrupt.

      These parasites were never punished for 2008

      They took it as green light to grift harder.

      May luigi bless them all.

        I’m also not rich to start with and didn’t go to public school either. I guess I just need to learn my place and celebrate the achievements of others.

            You might be in with a chance… of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.
