Long story short - leaders are leaders bc they have the most accountability ('skin-in-the-game'). When they are the source of good in their group, they get all the perks (resources, money, mates, status, the best meat from the kill, etc); when they are the source of instability, they either relinquish leadership, or they are killed by their own (Revolutions of France and Russia).
This is why there was Occupy Wall Street and the modern Tea Party after the great recession - people were fundamentally discontent when wall street execs got bail outs AND record bonuses the next year. This is why you feel angry whenever you read those half-hearted, lawyer-and-hr-drafted canned statements about how the CEO is sooooooo sorry about lying off 10k of their own employees. This is why there is lack of trust in the mainstream media - they can get things wrong (Iraq / Afghan / Vietnam wars) and there is no accountability.
So let us bring back accountability. Apes. Together. Strong.
