El Camino Hospital Board for years now has been paying its CEOs north of $800,000 a year with the Voice reporting operating profits in the millions of dollars.

Giant corporations donate thousands and get back billions in bailouts. What a great deal. An art. Governments around the globe saw this coming.

We have no shortage of people. Thin the herd - some would say. Some like Trump.
