Get the clambump mug.A corporate shill who is the utmost example of selfishness. They are the most unenlightened breed of human being next to a literal religious terrorist. Purely driven by ego, they stop at nothing and no one to get what they want with absolute disregard for others. They see life with blinders on, they are constantly defensive and they are sociopathic in nature. CEOs all climbed the ladder to the top, using the necks of others, usually those who actually created something, as rungs on this ladder. They are abysmal human beings who now exist in droves in corporate America. They have ruined the U.S.A. and should be ashamed of themselves, but even more so, the U.S. citizens need to recognize the shame they have brought upon the U.S., a once actually great country, now living anecdotally through lies, rabble, manipulation, war, and fear. Shame on U.S. for letting these people take what is ours. Especially since money is merely a human construct to begin with. These are fake people, that know everything they do is wrong, yet they continue to do it out of an even greater fear than that of which they propagate as they build their onion-skin of an image. Pathetic.
