    To them it was a numeric figure on a piece of paper, to the rest of us it was necessary supplies. The owner isn’t even a billionaire, the CEO has about 12M Net Worth.

      They weren’t your fucking supplies! They were owned by the fucking billionaires!

      It’s a publicly traded company. It is owned by a whole shitload of people. I’m sure I hold a few shares within the mutual funds in my portfolio. If you have any sort of investment portfolio, you very probably do too. But the predominant shareholders are billionaires, not working-class investors.

      The CEO is not the owner. He has some shares, sure. But the overwhelming majority of Kimberly-Clark is held by fucking billionaires.
