Yeah, IIRC when a bunch of large corporations got away with doing this in the 1980s and 90s, a lot of us just assumed it would keep happening. Some people have tried raising the alarm about this, but have been shouted down pretty consistently.

Were Boomers in power then? Ah, yeah they took over sitting as president after Regan, so like late 80s/early 90s. They’ve been sitting as president since, and they’re the most spoiled generation there has ever been. So, it makes sense they’d ignore anything with consequences later down the line. Everything was handed to them, then they hiked up the ladder behind them.
