"It’s a little bit like the court of Henry VIII...How’s the sovereign this morning? Is he in a good mood? How’s the gout?"..."A big pharma CEO told me...that the entire sector is petrified of everything the administration is doing, but he can’t speak up...."
Most appeasers ultimately lost their heads…now they lose their souls.
What a sad state of affairs!
Dear MBAs - it's like sucking up to your CEO, except he's even more addled and humorless.
The complete and utter pathetic weakness of these people is beyond anything. Imagine having all that money just to be a fucking bitch your whole life. How do you go home and face your wife knowing you just went and licked Trump's ass on the national news?
Just proves CEOs and almost all the C Suite are worthless to companies.
They’re not scared. They agree with the ultimate goal: a white nationalist takeover of every aspect of American life.
The thing is, if major business leaders had gotten together in solidarity and refused to play along they would've had leverage, as is the case with the universities as well. These people are all pathologically individualist MBAs who don't even know the word "solidarity"
The myopic, stupid, acquisitive, servile culture they inhabit made them completely unable to deal with this situation. Fuck those pieces of shit, they extract everything from us and don't even have the balls to defend THEIR system, they'll let Trump destroy THEM because they're utter cowards
#BreakUpBigBusiness #TAXbillionairesOutOfExistence People and businesses driven by greed never work in the best interests of the people or planet and we can no longer afford the cost.
Such chicken shit behavior. CEOs are basically Gollum.
Can’t speak up or wont speak up?
Regardless of whether they speak up or kiss up, these situations are the price of a gutless Congress. Trump — and arguably many in his cabinet plus 1/3 of SCOTUS — commits an impeachable offense practically every day, and they’re just letting it slide.
Business 'leaders' simply aren't.
And Trump never suffered a traumatic brain injury after years of being a comely, athletic gentille Perfect Knight who spoke several languages and wrote music.
The senior executive class is nothing but pathetic cowards. Petit tyrants who lord their power over employees while bowing and scraping toward the fascists in Washington.
Looks like I won’t be buying an iPhone ever again.
Competing for the position of Groom of the Stool. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_o...
Ridiculous. If they all spoke up, in every sector, this shit could end tomorrow.
They have sold out humanity and our planet for profit and power. #StandUP #CruelCapitalism #EatTheRich #TaxTheRich
Playing nice with this executive branch is a sign of true weakness... Once you capitulate, he owns your weak ass.
Maybe if the CEOs teamed up and showed some spine, they could get somewhere? Nahhh sucking up to a dictator is easier.
Corporate acquiescence to a fascist regime? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!
Shortsighted cowards
This is disgusting
Absolute cowards. Like they had no problem bitching loudly during the Biden admin. Honestly, they deserve whatever is coming
They weren’t AFRAID of Biden. They like being afraid. It makes them feel like they are ruled by Strong Daddy.
my sympathies are really more for the rest of us, who, like, need the vaccines
And affordable coffee.
He can speak up. He's just a fucking coward who cares more about lining his own pockets than the health of the United States. Don't ever forget who these motherfuckers are.
Wrong. Speak the fuck up now, you spineless twats, instead of wringing your hands and bitching to the press in anonymity.
What's the point of having INSANE AMOUNTS OF CORPORATE WEALTH if not to expel a non-sovereign nihilistic ninny from a position of power? Does no one understand agency? DO SOMETHING! End his presidency! If you promised Mike Johnson a nickel he'd impeach him tomorrow? Probably!
A good time to remind everyone ETTD
Groveling sniveling broligarch Billionaire CEOs don't have the spines to stand up for themselves.
