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.

Stock buybacks ought to be illegal (as they were pre-Reagan)

Stock buybacks after a gov handout ought to be an immediate jail term.

@TCatInReality literally zero reason to allow stock buybacks other than increasing wealth inequality.
