Hey Adrian - I have news for you. Without the owners, you don't get paid a $7 figure salary.
Some people should just keep their mouths shut. Claiming his job is the equivalent of slavery??? Guy clearly doesn't know his frigging history.
Hey Adrian - Slaves didn't have $7 figure salaries, top notch medical facilities, top notch training facilities, and get to play a GAME..
