X Williams should have got that position over Chow

I think it was a slap in the face for X. Williams to not be promoted to the role a. chow is in. He was the face of business for years and now she's struggling...o.k. should have been a no brainer. But there are no brains sitting at the top

Would you be willing to move for AT&T?

Vaccine?

I don't trust an entity that has accumulated $30 Trillion in Debt with a rushed vaccine. I also don't trust an employer with $150B in debt and a declining revenue stream. Desperate people and entities do desperate things.
