Companies should cut all buy-backs immediately

Fake News 🐽‼️

Well, well, well... You mean no more stock buybacks & ridiculous, class-warfare inducing CEO compensation packages that give rise to disenfranchised embracing socialism? Good riddance. Asking for a friend. DonaldJTrumpJr seanhannity TuckerCarlson COVID2019 😷 QAnon 🇺🇸 🗽

You know if they just streamed Hulu with ads and cut back on the avocado toast maybe they could have saved up enough for a rainy day fund.

Won’t help once mass inflation kicks in
