But your premise is flawed.  Because, you see, implicit in your little 
discourse is the assumption that Chris is doing it out of the goodness of his 
kind little heart.

But the fact is.... he's doing it to save his ass.

It's his corporation, he's not running a charity....

What he's doing isn't called altruism, it's called saving his boat from 
sinking.

Hate to break it to you all suckups, but Chris is just looking out for 
himself.

originality.
