    Sorry I engineered a system that extracts wealth from the poorest and filters it to the wealthiest in a self-reinforcing cycle to emiserate everyone outside my peer group.

    Oops-i-doodle! My bad.

    A lot of people, not just CEOs, should apologize more for their screw-ups. CEOs obviously should too, but we have a real problem in this world where people think asking for forgiveness is showing weakness.

      That would be admitting to a wrongdoing, and would get them into trouble. But also, they don’t see it as wrong, they see it as “business”

        Which is another problem that is not just a CEO problem (although it is a major CEO problem)- people thinking it’s okay to regularly do bad things because they’re doing them for a good reason.

            If you mean by vigilantism, that’s a good way to get innocent people murdered. Unless you know some foolproof way for every random person out there who decides to take the law into their own hands to only kill the guilty. Good luck with that considering the history of “internet sleuths.”

              Innocent people are already getting murdered. At least one murderer has now been held accountable that otherwise wouldn’t have. That’s a net positive to me so far.

                Sorry, that makes killing more innocent people acceptable?

                  When innocent people start dying because of this maybe I’ll give a shit. But the only people who have died from this is one horrible fucking monster. If you expect people to pretend to be sad about that then you’re a fool.

              People just want school shooters to update their targeting algos…

              But funny how we don’t have these moral discussions when school shootings happen though

              Hmm

                Everyone seems to agree that school shootings shouldn’t happen, but Americans have been fed a steady diet of vigilante superhero myths since the creation of Superman in the 1930s and too many of them want to be their own Batman or Punisher.

                  You are missing the point of what the people want.

                  They don’t want a super hero, he is just useful here.

                  People want for ruling class to listen and adjsit course. They are not getting it.

                  This got their attention and people are driving the point home. If they keep up their policies, when they get gunned down, we didn’t see nothing.

                  This the country the built for us. They love social Darwinism so why shouldn’t they face natural selection.

      This can unfortunately be due to poor work culture a lot, where anyone admitting fault is saddled with all the blame and consequences. A great way to start correcting that is to lead by example from the top, though. Executives can’t be surprised if this culture develops if they’re always sidestepping accountability.
