- joshmanders 6y agoHow do you gather this is from the Nov 3rd election? Sure you can replace "The CEO" and "The Company" with "The President" and "The Country" but I don't see how you got that correlation.
- itsoktocry 6y ago>How do you gather this is from the Nov 3rd election? If it isn't about the election, then it's SV fluff. "It's hard to fire a CEO, but it must be done sometimes" isn't terribly insightful stuff.

- BryanBeshore 6y agoF. Wilson’s reply to a thread on his Twitter indicates as such: https://twitter.com/fredwilson/status/1320706427091111936?s=21 https://twitter.com/fredwilson/status/1320706427091111936?s=...
- tschwimmer 6y agoHm, yeah. I would not have guessed that this post was a reference to the election by the text alone, but that tweet certainly seems to indicate that it is.
- BryanBeshore 6y agoAgreed. Timing is everything.
- krn 6y agoFred Wilson is just reiterating what Michael Bloomberg said a few months ago at DNC[1]: > I'm not asking you to vote against Donald Trump because he's a bad guy. I'm urging you to vote against him because he's done a bad job. [1] https://news.yahoo.com/bloomberg-fire-donald-trump-031227989.html https://news.yahoo.com/bloomberg-fire-donald-trump-031227989...
- dave5104 6y agoMaybe I'm missing some context here, but why is this political? I don't really see anything obvious in the actual text of the post.
- commandlinefan 6y agoFWIW, I read it the same way OP did.
- zachrose 6y ago“I am not a fan of removing the CEO until and unless it is abundantly clear that it must be done.” Presidential terms are four years. It seems demented to make a comparison to firing as a last resort.
