My retirement would be much better if I could get 10% of the money spent on useless spares.

Well said/played GF......one must read between the line here and filter out the sensationalism that a headline of “GE CEO hides MULTI MILLION dollar private jet from innocent and deprived shareholders and unknowing employees”.

Chaser G650, Globals, 747 (Air Force 1.5) and many other dollar wasters happen every day in the name of “my time is money”
