As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.

@QasimRashid "In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges." Agreed.

I feel that even stronger for folks like the entire C-Suite of PG&E,

@zeruch @QasimRashid the corporates at PG&E need to be tried for homicide.

@samhainnight @QasimRashid I have long maintained that there was some real brilliance when George Carlin said (and I'm paraphrasing): send a handful of Wall Street bankers and their kin to gen pop prison for hard time (read, used as a chew toy for inmates with middle names that start with "the" like Jimmy The Fist), and you could fix this entire corruption problem in a generation.

@zeruch @samhainnight @QasimRashid John Rogers (creator of LEVERAGE) said a similar thing: nothing will change until a rich white man goes to jail.
