9. Unbelievable! Can you even imagine a company spending money to do something

for their general employees? This money should have instead gone to executive bonuses! The people on the council must be on the take to think this is a good idea. Why would any town want to have a business in it that people WANT to work for? A business that many people in the community DO work for (directly or indirectly).

This company makes sells spy and "death from above" drones to the US government. That is your reason to be outraged (so long as you don't want to talk about WHO is buying them and what THEY are doing with them). Building sports and recreation facilities for the employees isn't going to get almost anyone worked up. As many have pointed out, isn't this one of the few types of behavior the DU generally SUPPORTS from corporations?
