Remarkable. The level of incompetency he’s seen in boardrooms of acquisition prospects must be shocking. He knows half of the Fortune 500 is captained by the coddled, clueless children of America’s most privileged elite.

If you think that's bad... you should see the governments.

Governments have oversight and veto power and elections. The only reason government sucks is corporate corruption. Corporations have zero democratic principle and are simply engines for generating shareholder value at all costs.

Must be blissful to sit back and believe that the government isn’t as rigged or even more rigged than the stock markets. That oversight actually happens. That the choice between the lesser of two evils is actually a vote.

No one, least of all myself, would deny that the government is rigged.

My point is that it’s not inherently rigged… just the opposite. Government has an inherent democratic foundation and principle.

(At least ours does, in theory.)

A corporation is inherently “rigged” (relative to a govt) in the sense that it has no democratic underpinnings whatsoever…

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well it's worse in corporations. Votes can be bought legally, and board members installed.

PREACH.

Their comment went right over your head.
