you see corporations that are less connected to the communities that they serve I think if you look at our country right now you see a tale of two countries really people on the coasts where a lot of companies are doing really well and posting a record profits and in the middle of the country you see the exact opposite people who feel like they've been left behind by the economy that they're not connected to the big companies in their own cities Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase they're gonna be teaming up and they say their goal
