companies, it is really none of your damn business how they choose to spend their money. Right?
I think some of that crap is horrible. But, life insurance benefits, vesting of options, etc. all pretty well make sense to me. Not competing after death = not so much sense. But, in the end, these shareholders of these companies spend their company's money the way they want to. And I don't give a **** if they pile it up and burn it.
Edited: I mean, if you don't own these companies, it seems to me you really just have problems with envy, not about waste.
On the other hand, most all of us pay taxes for the political welfare.
