Serious question – is there anyone out there that this has actually worked for?

Well then what about incompetence or malfeasance? When Jack Welch spent 20 years cooking the books and “maximizing shareholder value”, only to leave those same shareholders holding the hollowed-out corpse of GE, has he or GE been held accountable to its shareholders? No.
So now investors are absolved from doing their due diligence in researching a company and its leadership, and any company that doesn’t have an already established history of doing something for the public good must remain enslaved to that position until the end of time? Ridiculous. And “directors absolutely have a…
“Sued into oblivion” is very different than, as the article stated, “breaking laws designed to protect stockholders”. There are no laws. There is only very debatable case history, and furthermore, the very existence of B corporation certification flies in the face of the notion that even case history holds. B…

But an imaginary Exxon CEO who decided to give gas away for free, just to be nice, would be breaking laws designed to protect stockholders. Corporations have a legal obligation to be profitable (or “greedy,” if you want to look at it that way.)
I was a kid, and actually, the dog found it an entertaining game to sneak up behind me and steal them out of my hand (Legos too), but thanks for the unsolicited judgement.
The problem is that there’s so many idiots out there that the dealers are correct in assuming they can get away with this, so when a non-idiot comes around looking for a sane deal on a car, they end up having to scour the country for the few ethical dealers out there.
I know, now we’re talking, right?!
Who even wants an open-face sandwich though? In the history of time, has anyone ever thought to themselves “man, I could really go for a good open-face sandwich”?! Has there ever been anyone that received one that wasn’t at least a little disappointed that it didn’t have another piece of bread?
The problem lies in going to the restaurant, ordering something like a Reuben melt, or whatever fancy concoction they have that sounds tasty, and then either having the waiter point out that “that’s open-face, is that alright?” because they’ve had so many (justifiable) complaints – or even worse – just discovering it…
Also, A wedge salad is NOT a salad, it’s a hunk of lettuce.
An open-faced sandwich is definitely NOT a sandwich, and it angers me when it is represented as one at restaurants – what, is that second piece of bread going to break the bank?!
What is it with Lifehacker and this ridiculous ‘wasps are good’ propaganda they keep spewing out? I think we know who really has the network of secret troll farms in the Philippines pumping out disinformation designed so that you don’t kill them...
First-hand account of the water bags here – it was a restaurant in Glenwood Springs, CO, about 20 years ago. We sat out on the patio, which was covered with corrugated translucent fiberglass and open on the sides. Also hanging above us were little lunch baggies of water (no pennies), about one every 6 feet or so, in…
