"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Or, maybe everyone who marries an asshole is themselves also an asshole, and deserves it.

Some do.  I have met married couples who were both assholes.  We don't have enough information in this case, though, just this guy's say-so.

Exactly this. She's simply not a firsthand player in this story, just someone else's character. There's no valid reason to hate on her, other than by proxy through the guy who clearly IS an asshole, because she has no voice in this story.

And I love how there are even people hating on the poor fucking KID that they already have. WTF is wrong with people.

I'm not really hating on either of them.  The guy is just your average American pay'bucker, and I feel really bad for his kid, and for his kids on the way.  Not because he's a shitneck or she's a shitneck or whatever, but because this man is singularly unequipped to deal with children in any respect, and now there's twins...Which are extremely difficult when the parents ARE equipped.

Whomever was hating on the kid, though, needs to punch themselves in the junk.  Right now.

It's basically a self-managed freak show.  And, needless to say, the rubes are lining up to gawk and sneer.

QuoteThat came when he was asked by reporters about how he would respond to residents of Louisiana.

"The first thing to say is 'I'm sorry,'" Hayward said. "We're sorry for the massive disruption it's caused their lives. There's no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back."
