They are paid too much for the supposed labor they give out, so they have the finances and time to ruin the lives of people they deem to be below them.
Which just happens to be everyone who is paid less than them.
The solution is to gut executive pay several thousand percent so it is back in line with the rest of the world.
Agree with you 100%. Funny how we have the thread next door here on HN full of people explaining how billionaires worked hard to get their money and deserve to create their little dynasties with it.
Conflating the 2 shows little understanding of the issue at hand.
The same logic would put Bush and Obama as statesmen, at the same level of Washington and Adams.
Yet, the former 2 are examples of people that didnt risk much in order to attain power and achieve their ambitions.
The latter 2 put everything on the line, risking their own loved ones by going against the single most powerful empire in the world.
Let that sink in.
This is why founding fathers, like Ford, MLK, and even Trump, have a cult-like following despite their personal failings.
Thats why billionaires are inspirational (the ones that didnt make their fortune from using govt, or its handout) . They have scars of battle, like real warriors.
Executives are only good at 1 thing. Climbing the ladder... at others expense. Pushing buttons...to kill people. Like cowards.
Dont put executives and billionaires in the same bucket.
Cowards don't belong in the same group as warriors.
