this kind of absurd lionization of the wealthy is part of the problem.
I've met some extremely wealthy CEOs, and they warp nothing around them. It's an elite career track and old boys club, that's it.
- atemerev 9y agoI met them as well. What industry are you referring to?
- gue5t 9y agoExtraordinary claims would do well to find some extraordinary evidence to support them, lest they collapse under the weight of their disproportionate grandeur.
- tormeh 9y agoThere is a substantial intersection between wealthy people and CEOs, but they're still employees, so they're not that wealthy. I have no doubt that a lot of big-co CEOs are operating at the limit of human capacity, but that doesn't really have any effect on my opinion of trust fund kids.
- atemerev 9y agoTrust fund kids do exist, of course, but those are usually not Fortune 500 CEOs (or at least not for long, unless they worked hard for that).
- dragonwriter 9y agoCEO's, as such, are employees, but lots of them are capitalists and derive as much or much more of their wealth from capital as from labor income.
