(19,288 posts)There was a context to the firing statement from the corporate raider, who bought and merged companies, then fired the redundant employees. Fucker.
But he was talking about firing your insurance agent, if a better plan becomes available, at a better price. Most of us would be intimidated to mess with our coverage and we are a loyal people. He said he liked firing agents that didn't fill their bill of goods. Which is what American's are used to buying. A bill of goods, remember when you bought that?
