Hang in there folks.
When TT gets back from the Alps and Colorado hiking, he has your back. You can Google Twitter under his name to see how Max his dog is doing. Probably better than you.
Have you wondered?
Have you ever wondered if TT and his wife sit at the dinner table and had a discussion? Wife says, TT your employees don't really care for you or the company. Their morale is really low and you dropped the company off of the stock market, and you... — read more
