@vmbrasseur The issue i have with this; most CEO's are terrible at their jobs. The ones that actually add real value are few and far between. This is NOT capitalism. It's cronyism. 🤮

@vmbrasseur Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal. Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
