“Now we know why CEOs didn’t want this data released,”

So, if I were hiring a CEO (which I do actually do in my job), why would I want one who is a politician who lies to me?

As a greedy capitalist myself, why wouldn't I just want the guy who will work the cheapest?

You could go out in the street grab the first person you saw and have as much success with them.

These people have no talent beyond being able to bullshit.


Good one. Do you take your comedy show on the road?

In a corporation, there are people with skills that are much more unique than the skills of a CEO, yet the major pay disparity.

I laugh at the sycophants who think these politicians are necessary.

Yes. And most people can get at one skill. It's the ability to do a variety of skills along with doing them well over time that's the key. And not all CEO skills are the same. CEO of a warehousing company is different than CEO of a bank.

And we've asked you to prove us wrong. All it takes is $50 to become one. Go out and do it.
 
I have said they are hard jobs to get.

You have to be a politician. For many years.

But that is all you need and basically all these people are.

Master bullshitters.

Their record of success proves they have no special talents.

So tying most of CEO pay which it is to the company's performance does that. And we don't ever get the real numbers of what CEOS and upper management make isn't as well known.

This seems like an argument that I would want to hire the cheapest person avaialble, not a refutation.

Instead of undercover boss, they could do a Random Street person boss for a day. Let's see how it goes.
 
There should be a sliding scale of tax breaks. The bigger the gap, the more the corp has to pay into social services. Stick to 100x and you get no penalties.

Then you just restructure your company to half: a holding company where the CEO is employed, with other top management, and the rest.

Some of it really is obscene. I can't think why anyone would be worth such an obscene amount of money.

Nobody seems to have any problems with athletes and musicians and actors having such obscene amounts of money. I've never really been able to figure out why it's okay for artists and entertainers, but not for businesspeople. It seems like the same perspective should apply to any ridiculously wealthy person, regardless of how that wealth was attained.

How many CEOs do you know? And how much do you know about what CEOs do?

They are ordinary humans beings.

Very gregarious. Politicians.

Nothing else very special.

They exist because humans are not very far removed from kings and the delusions of leaders with special powers and insight.

Okay, you've said this already. Where are you getting your information from? What is forming your opinion? How many CEOs do you know?

I guess I would like the average person on the street to talk to an investor and explain what how their free cash flow is going to affect their next quarter's EPS.

It is called living and seeing these people and listening to them.

Nothing but a bunch of cheap salesmen with a bunch of worthless jargon.

And their record proves my point.

Any salesman can be taught to sell a product.

It takes no talent besides being able to bullshit.

A day may come when humans stop listening to the total bullshit of so-called "leaders".

They are doing nothing but looking after their own interests.
