> You don't need high profits to drive stock growth, you just need to get ... bigger, and that's what they do. You can do other things to boost stock price without showing profits ... use ... wait for it ... excess revenue to do stock buybacks.

This is false. Stock buybacks can only happen from net income, which is why health insurers don’t do them…since they have very little net income (aka profit).

> executives funnel money to a bloated management structure

You will have to provide proof that at least 7 publicly listed companies’ executives are colluding in such a manner AND their shareholders are willingly going along with employees enriching themselves at the shareholders’ expense. Lots of bold claims with no evidence, and some outright wrong ones.

>If it wasn't for utter slimeball Joe Lieberman doing the dirty work blocking medicare for all for the insurance companies, they would have been tossed out completely.

Also, there are 100 senators, and so legislation passing/not passing can never be blamed on just one. Leiberman took the public relations hit, but there were 40 other nay votes to blame also.
