Bloom probably made close to a million per year. Why are they passing the hat?
There are some hinting that he didn't make that much. Still, doesn't GE give their employees a big insurance policy? Mrs. TC worked for GE Cap years ago and they did then. Seems like it paid double while 'traveling'.
Regardless, shame on GE/NBC that a hat needs to be passed. I'll save my contributions for the enlisted men's children. (..and officers too, of course)
