      This remark makes total sense with the way the government is pushing everybody to get the medication. I chose to take it but I think everybody should be able to make their own decision on the matter period without being able to research facts how can people make the best decision for them and their family and not let the government make the decisions for them. This Administration has an agenda and Zuckerberg is in on it 100%

Nixon also spent 2 years trying to pass a universal basic income that would have after adjusting for inflation been about $100 less than Yangs.

      I thought maybe he was related to BP’s ex-CEO of North America operations who would rather be yachting than taking care of the world’s largest petroleum leak in the Gulf of Mexico that his company caused by not paying to replace a faulty $500k cut-off ram. Their original press release blamed it on the workers for dropping a wrench, but I work in industrial maintenance- in areas with potential for explosive atmospheres you must use brass tools supplied by the facility.

    When a couple of Tylenol packets had been poisoned by a lone mad person, the company's response was to recall all Tylenol products at high cost to the company. Why? Because their Credo says that their first responsibility is to the patients, families and doctors and nurses who prescribe their products. The second and third responsibilities in the Credo are to the communities they serve and their business partners. The fourth, and last, responsibility is to provide a fair return to their shareholders. J&J's Credo states that if they fulfil their responsibilities to the first three groups, the fair return to shareholders will naturally follow. This is the model for corporate responsibility. What Facebook is doing is an abomination, the worst of corporate greed which dishonours the virtues of capitalism.
