what the hell do y’all make out of this one?

They say the more confusing the company jargon, the more dishonest they are.

Corporate Jargon - Lying by Obscurity

I'm not ****ing reading all that. Mind pointing out the part you're worried about?

Obfuscation ad nauseam.

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
- Dick The Butcher

I think it’s curious. Don’t read it, then.

It seems obvious to me that it’s defending corporate bosses the right to squelch objections raised by their shareholders but the language is nuts.

That's specifically written to be read by lawyers, therefore, they can use jargon that only lawyers understand. If they wanted to use plain english, the article would be longer--substantially longer possibly.

My dad is a surgeon, and I can show you articles from JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) that are just as obfuscated.

It’s not especially hard to understand.

I don't understand your point. You still have to "understand it" though. The target audience probably uses that terminology as often as they use the bathroom and can skim that article.

The language is more colorful and poetic than I expected.

Don't be a dick. You expect us to read the whole thing, then figure out what exactly it is you consider "odd"? **** that.
Not obvious to me. What have wolves to do with it?
Yes. Yes it is.

1: It's not long at all.
2: Nobody expects anything from you.

Really. If you’re not interested then fine. Don’t get all aggro, Trolls.

If you haven't seen the flick, most of this won't make an ounce of sense.

Swear to God Troll, I will die unfinished if you don't give in.

He might not capitulate, he's quite adamant about not watching it.

Are you looking for a layman's translation of it?

no

I understand the damn thing

Christ, why doesn’t anyone get what I’m saying?

I mean I read part of it and it's definitely sheisty but I just didn't care enough to finish it.

Fascinating

If you read it in a foreign accent it's more fun.
