Ya know...this world is crazy...it's just OFF ITS ROCKER. Or, is it just me?
The
CEOs of the automobile industry flew into Washington to ask for the auto-industry bail out -- each CEO on their company's private jet. The cost for each flight? About $20,000.
When asked why (when they STILL could've arrived in time for the meeting) they didn't take a coach flight (~$200) or a first class flight (~$800) -- it was pretty much no comment.
How many jobs could be saved just by them giving up a freakin' private jet?
The auto industry is positively crucial to the US economy, but if we're going to do another bail out to save the AVERAGE person's livelihood, can we please have some strings attached like: fire the CEOs, no private jets, no 68-Million-Dollar annual bonus for CEOs, no outrageous luxury "business" trips....ya know?
This stuff just makes me feel so
powerless lately.... okay, /rant.
