      CEOs and managers are being elected, by the board. Which in turn, is being elected, by the owners. Which in turn… more often than not, can’t be bothered to actually think through the consequences; either they’re power tripping themselves, or anonymous “public” owners, or workers who can’t tell their taxes from their compensation plan.
