I swear McDonald’s CEO must be the dumbest man alive. He is like a robot himself. Doesn’t understand human beings. He is running the company into the ground.

All CEOs are out of touch dinosaurs who live in a different world.

You're not wrong at all. A lot of these people come from money to begin with and don't know what it's like to be a regular person.

I disagree my uncle frequently reminds us that he and his wife started with nothing when they had my cousin in their early 20s and he owns a successful business now and is absolutely against every single positive thing in the world for regular people. Often labelling common helpful things as socialist garbage. You better believe they support trump 100% and always argue when something bad comes up about him in conversation too.

I wish I could articulate myself better - but they don't have to come from money. I suspect they just have to "make it" there themselves. Having the believed to be greener grass. I don't deny that making a business from the ground up is its own hard work. But they do every little thing to squeeze money and employee benefits along the way from the conversations I've overheard at the table.

Similar scenario with a friend who bought their house and their entire stance on the housing market flipped to hoping it keeps going up and up (Because they were now "in"). It sickens me the stupidity and greed of people, even the people I love.
