As someone with family in a LTC facility like this one, I would be LIVID to say the least. It is a money game to many of those people, and they hold lives in their very hands.

Wow, you rarely see these types of charges against executives who pull this type of shit. I hope this is a first step in charging more executives across other industries who put profits ahead of the safety of workers or customers.

I’ve never been at the top.
Most of us haven’t.
I really want to know. What the fuck goes through their minds? How much goddam money do they think they need in their goddam pockets as a trade-off to actually providing the service they have agreed to provide?
They are pulling in, I dunno, hundreds of thousands to fund their miserable lifestyles thinking they are slumming it because they don’t have a 13.5 millions estate in Bel Air, just a modest 4 bed house in Toluca Lake, a modest house in Santa Monica their grown child lives in, and a place they airbnb in Mammoth.
And cutting costs for their facilities and employees and the elderly people they have agreed to take care of. So they can have more fucking money.
They are spending all this money they are taking away from their services, and using it to try to outrun their consciences.

i can already smell another "recall gascon" campaign in the works
