The woman acting in this did a phenomenal job, Going to have to look her up and see what else she's acted in. That restaurant scene was great!

"And rest assured, your investment is in good hands. The company will not only force its competitors out of business through illegal business practices - like undercutting, collusion, and monopolization, but will also buy off any politicians thinking about regulating or taxing them. And finally, they'll use the profits to buy back stock, thereby making yours more valuable, instead of wasting it on employee salaries and benefits, modernization, or supply lines. You - and upper management - will be cashed out long before the company implodes anyway."

$93,000 today. Unfortunately that's the minimum for a single person today - not a family.
