I have yet to meet a CEO of any of the companies I worked at that wowed me with their intelligence. I have worked at small enough companies to have directly worked with and spoke with the CEOs on multiple occasions. I know when I meet someone bright, and none of them have been it. What they have been good at is bullshitting and talking their way in and out of things. Having communication and coercion skills IMO are a great indicator of your ability to become a C-Suite executive. That and being willing to abandon most other things in life including your family. I guess my point is that the skills required to get into those roles are not always what you assume they should be… and there is a reason you often find some of the most abhorrent people in said roles.

Water is wet. anything else?

This is what happens when CEOs or any of these idiots are detached from reality for too long. Who is hanging out at the gas station? At most you go in to grab a pack of gum or cigarettes or something. I honestly feel like the only job of CEOs these days is to gaslight the public and convince them that the things they say are true, when every normal person clearly knows its false.

From ‘everyone loves to chill at the gas station’ to ‘people should love data centers in their yard because it brings jobs’.

Look I know the ‘elites’ think normies are idiots, and there are plenty… but its really getting old now

Its so amazing that we had so many routes to make things better and better. Technology promised such an amazing future. Of course, greed ruined that and here we are. We fumbled the bag people…

cool. literally noone cares. Thats the sad part
