And the CEO / Board members jailed or sent to a forced labour camp. Either way I would be happy
Just thinking about some shitstain CEOs having to work an actual job instead of tea parties and coke and hookers, makes my day so much brighter. Thank you.
No prob, in these dark days we need some joy, even if it’s not from reality
