Muted the asshole when he started talking about watching the "legendary GE chairman Jack Welch..."

You know, the legendary married philanderer and all around scum bag. Asshole has a lot of respect for his type.

Too bad when you can't even watch a 9/11 ceremony thanks to the dick head "president" we have.

He culled the employees 10% every year. GE had a ranking for every employee, and each January the lowest ranked 10% would be fired. It was disgusting and immoral.
