Thoughts and prayers are nice, but giving to help those in need is better. Today, I'm honored to offer a little bit of assistance to Bobby's room costs. You too can feel honored with a donation.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
