Okay. Thank you for explaining that.
I want to point out something and ask you to kind of look in the mirror. You tried to blame the government by saying that the government didn't act fast enough and didn't help your company fast enough. I want to outline some of the choices you made, because I think this is really a choice. I don't agree that this is something you had to do. You chose to give $3.71 billion in dividends to shareholders. You chose to buy back stocks for $140 million in 2023. You pocketed a staggering 42% pay increase from 2020 to 2023.
You could have chosen to prioritize workers with that money. You could have chosen to give consumers a break and make it more affordable for cellphone and Internet fees, particularly at a time when people are struggling with the cost of living. However, you chose greed. How do you justify that? Those are the choices you made.
