It is CEO hatred culture which is being actively developed by socialists in hope to promote socialism: a very predictable desire to control the population by eliminating opportunity and thus free-thinkers and overachievers: forced equality where everyone should wear the same uniform, the same haircut, and make the same 15$ per month no matter your skills, abilities, or the situation at hand, with all Olympians in national Olympiads getting the same iron medals regardless of the results. Fortunately unachievable in US in the near future.

Was the U.S. in the 1970s a socialist country? Or how about in the late 1940s?

  Most certainly not, Медвежонок, and I doubt it will become one in the near future (although some aspects of it are already here). Nevertheless, it's always good to highlight socialist propaganda.

    "CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 21-to-1 in 1965." (https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-compensation-surged-14-in-2019-to-21-3-million-ceos-now-earn-320-times-as-much-as-a-typical-worker/ https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-compensation-surged-14-i...) Apparently, we were significantly more socialist in the mid-1960s.

Ah yes, only the socialists hate CEOs, obviously these are the special people who deserve their ivory towers right? JFC the mental gymnastics never cease to amaze.

  "hate" or "hatred" - very strong words that make me say "Yes, exactly right.", - in response to your first question. I would even point out that only deeply disturbed individuals can hate people they know nothing about (well, nothing other than what was shoved down their throats by propaganda channels)

    I realize that cringing obsequiousness is a great human tradition in the relationships between those without power and those with, but I do have to point out that, when push comes to shove, your betters will never remember your service.

      I know it's possible that some time in the future I might realize that I have been a fool all this time. However, it is also possible that alternatively, you might realize the same. That moment has yet to come for either of us. So here we stand.
