The moderator could benefit from coaching to help him eliminate his use of "fillers"  He had so many "uhms" in his intro, that it was quite distracting.  A strong intro sets the tone for the whole panel discussion to follow!

With social responsibility, It would have been nice to hear something about wages. Wages have been gouged for the purpose of maximizing "stock holder profits" and increasing CEO's pay.

Maybe the GREED tactics of modern business need to hear this panel, but the only thing these panelist suggested was we changed the verbiage so we don't sound so greedy anymore. 

The Kroger guy says they "donate" to services that benefit them directly...thats just greed reworded.
