Btw, GEO Group contracts with the feds, particularly ICE, not just "local governments". This is something you would have easily and rapidly learned if you weren't such a slacker.
As for your childish "STFU about it." - Sorry, we're not on your nursemaid forum. Did you get confused? Go crawl into Solar's lap, latch onto a nipple and whimper to him.

I appreciate your confirming the feds are inefficient in your view. That is certainly a different opinion from you. Now back to the point. What the CEO is paid is none of your business if you do not own stock in that company.

No, it isn't. As you well know I've always been an opponent of the tax dollar abuse by the military and prison-industrial complexes. Why are you such a liar when you're laziness causes you to screw up?

Your infantile and ignorant "point" was that I should "STFU about it" unless my "local governments" were contractors. I get that you don't care when the feds dole out billions to corporate fat cats but I do.
You should stick with your other point - your fawning love for the wasteful prison-industrial complex, corporate welfare, and mistreatment of workers and prisoners.
Don't sweat it, none of us expect honesty or accountability from a Big Insurance hack.
Vrede is so predictable. Always end up with disparaging remarks.
I'm happy to buy into Super-S's "none of your business" if he agrees that the same principle applies to gay people getting married, women getting abortions, and personal drug use. If he did that, I could figure he's strongly in favor of individual liberties and that if he's not personally affected by the gay guys getting married or the salary of the executive, then he's at least logically consistent. But if he thinks that society as a whole is affected by what an individual does, then corporation's exec comp is decidely a topic of the public's business.

(CNN) -- Eighteen current and former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies were indicted as part of an FBI investigation into alleged civil rights abuses and corruption, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Sixteen of them made initial appearances in federal court in Los Angeles Monday afternoon, with two others schedule to go before a judge later in the day.
The two-year FBI probe focused on allegations that sheriff's officials had fostered a culture in which deputies were permitted to beat and humiliate inmates and cover up misconduct at the nation's largest county jail.
"Our investigation also found that these incidents did not take place in a vacuum -- in fact, they demonstrated behavior that had become institutionalized," U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. said. "The pattern of activity alleged in the obstruction of justice case shows how some members of the Sheriff's Department considered themselves to be above the law."

Maybe, but a lot of spectators do too. Have you seen some of those women on the backs of some of those bikes? It's rarely the hot ones who doff the top.
Can we even count what's wrong with that story? Starting with how does one manage to "frisk" as suspect and "miss" a .45? Most police don't issue a .45, but the ones issued by Durham were/are (.45 ACP) SIG-Sauer P220-1 pistol, (.45 ACP) S&W Model 4506d, and (.45 ACP) S&W M&P45. It's not like you can stick these in your sock. Notice the passive voice in (the recording device) "...was not on." Is it required to run it during an arrest or not? If so, what happened? I call BS on the whole cockameemie story.
I saw a story from Atlanta on ABC earlier that a 71 year old retired cop pulled out his gun, shot, and killed another movie patron who he'd been arguing with about texting on his phone during the movie; I thought to myself; "another good guy with a bad gun."
Opps! This actually happened in (can you believe it?) Florida; guess the report I saw was from a guy reporting from Atlanta. Sorry, folks.....back to the weather.
