Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

    People have private lifes. CEO‘s too. I don’t see why I should remotely care what the personal opinion of a CEO is. And I am deeply concerned that this is such a big deal, no matter what their opinion is.

    If you have a personal problem with that, that‘s totally okay. Putting them on a stand, is not okay. Let them have an opinion. Debate if you disagree. But stop making such a scene out of everything.

      I definitely care about the opinions of CEOs because it directly lets me know which companies to support or not.

      If a CEO is a trash, then I don’t want to give them my money. Simple capitalism, that.

        Again, why should I care? The company does not only consist of the CEO, which is also why I‘m interested in the things a company does, and not what a CEO says.

          Worth noting the company’s official account doubled down on the same, further up in this thread.

          The direction of a company is often dictated by the CEO. CEO=dumb then company direction = also probably dumb

          I only care to the extent that companies are seen as people that can exercise free speech by donating tons of money to politicians. So seeing where a CEO might lean will change my mind about the future of said company.

          With that said, I’d love for companies to just be companies and the people running them to be separate, but it’s all to intertwined in my opinion.

          So with that logic, we should not care about the president because theres other cogs in the system?
