Fun random Comcast fact: founder Ralph Roberts, famous for wearing a bow-tie (and infamous for other reasons) died in 2015. My then-boss, a Comcast veep, decided to wear a bow-tie to the memorial service. He was fired a week later. When an executive is fired at Comcast, they just instantly disappear around lunchtime and are never seen or heard from again or even mentioned by anybody. I'm not entirely certain they're not killed and dissolved in acid.
