Aug. 23rd, 2004 05:21 pmEvery time I hear about an airline cutting back on their flights and/or on jobs or benefits to their employees, or even better, when a large corporation - like the one owned by Donald Trump just did last week - declares bankruptcy, I wonder -
Did any of their handful of executives give up even a fraction of their 6+ digit salaries?
I mean, just to help out and all. Since everyone else is feeling the pinch. I mean, if there's such a concern about saving money, did any of the three-piece-suited, middle-aged white men decide that they didn't necessarily have to have a 5-car, 2-storey/6 bdrm/4-1/2 bath, Aruba-vacationing, private-schooled lifestyle - just to make sure the company - and the jobs of all the people who do the actual g*damn work in it - stays afloat?
Yeah. I didn't think so.

Sent to the Alibi (who might print it) and to the Abq Journal (who most likely won't).
