      It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.

            “customers” meaning the communities?

              Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

                    There’s no need to link me to my own comments. I did not.

                      You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

                      Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.
