Yeah, we knew that before Snowden. Story made me think of my uncle, RIP, who’s friend told him to “buy Cisco, trust me” back in the early '90s. So my uncle bought Sysco. He was pissed at himself until the day he died.

I think Sysco is up about 10% per year on average since 1990 so it’s not so bad…
