Equal work, equal wages, equal food, equal opportunities, equal power. On the outside, a society where every one of its citizens was completely equal sounds and appears like a good thing, even a great thing. No one had too much power, everyone seemed to be happy, and most importantly everyone worked to better the community instead of themselves.

To the Board of Directors of RadioShack, 2015 and 2016 shook the confidence of RadioShack first with the bankruptcy and later the resignation of the CEO, Ron Garriques, who served less than a year in the position.
