    I’m so tired of hearing reports of what CEOs and billionaires say, as if it was news. These people aren’t smart, they just managed to stay on stop for longest. Quit giving them a platform.

      Most CEOs are smart. They’re smart in the corporate politics that keep one in such a position. They’re apparently doing something right in the eyes of the board members, or they’d be fired.

      They are not smart in any sense that benefits humanity. The only thing they benefit is themselves.

        “The board” is mostly just CEOs of other companies. All they have to do is vote for each others’ absurd compensation packages, no smartness required. It’s a true circlejerk.
