"Stockholder dividends."

Well, yes, but I was taking it from the perspective that a liberal normally would have. ...well, a liberal with a discernable IQ. ...okay, I know that's a conceptual contradiction. Especially where handouts like free food are concerned, it's easy to keep a liberal mind-numbingly happy... even if it made is tofu... or soylent green. Of course, it'll eventually backfire since after the high of getting free food wears off, those employees will still want raises. Then Cat Communications will have to charge for the swill or water it down... but how you do water down food that's already made of TVP?
