That's funny because usually the hardest working people tend to make the least amount of money while the laziest who have relatively easy jobs make the most.

Unfortunately, there isn't an "acid voice" icon. Some people, when there is talk of income inequality or poor working conditions, say that poor people should just buckle down and work harder, or get a different job. Because after all, they managed it. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All kidding aside. Thankfully the deep state within Pfizer waited until Biden was declared victor. Had they announced this a week prior to the election like the board wanted. trump may have spun it to victory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
