Randall Stephenson, who collected that amount in his final year as the boss of AT&T, is proof the world had lost the plot long before coronavirus came along. His last big move before exiting the stage was to splurge $85 billion on Time Warner, a content emporium of popular shows and blockbuster flicks, and marry this to AT&T. Deficits of common sense do not run much deeper. https://www.lightreading.com/videomedia/atandt-and-verizon-media-bets-were-mad-bad-and-dangerous/a/d-id/769621
