They have one speed. The speed of every telephone company. Because every telephone company is comprised of them.

Baby Boomers
All baby boomers, how do you feel about GM and everything that's going on currently? I understand how my fellow millennials feel. I also know that after a little time here we jump off to better opportunities and seem to find these easily. Let's try and keep it civil here.
