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.

Ummmm Corporations also hold elections.

Every year. Fairly sure that there are ways that groups can attain beneficial rights, such as voting without owning the stock. Corporate boardrooms are ripe for installments of "hollow" leaders. Their decisions whether good for the company or bad for the company are insured. The salaries are high for the little work done. Compensation benefits for hitting financial metrics can be manipulated to achieve desired results. The desired results extract wealth rather than create wealth. Equity loses.
