          Bad people are motivated by ego, power, greed, and fear. The ones at the top running things are those who desire external control because they are ego and fear driven. The exact kind of people you don’t want running the show.

    How is a company supposed to make money off someone that’s incarcerated? They don’t have much disposable income…
