    They’re responsible for maximizing stock price (i.e. enriching shareholders including themselves). That’s it. They don’t give a shit about providing jobs and you can see this with all the jerking off they’re doing over AI supposedly making people obsolete.

      You have a very limited view of what the owner of a company is responsible for. That also explains your views on the pay structure.

      But as far as AI? One can only dream. Any day without human interaction is paradise.

        The CEO is not necessarily the owner of the company. If you want to feel superior with your supposed knowledge on the subject, then you shouldn’t make basic mistakes like this.

        The rest of your post explains a hell of a lot about you.

            You’re a misanthrope and likely just as insufferable to those people as you perceive them to be. Your misanthropy leads you to support dehumanizing systems like capitalism.

              Nah, overall I don’t hate people. Just the ones who are void of common sense and refuse to use logic in their decision making, relying on feeling to navigate their way through life. Couple that with being forced to go along with nonsense in order to be a part of society, it’s exhausting.

        I mean what else are they in business for if they are not doing it to enrich themselves?
