   The biggest lie you were ever told is that the world needs CEOs or presidents or whatnot. That some privileged clueless asshat – and it’s usually a guy – needs to make the “hard decisions” that the everyday people who keep things running and actually know shit are apparently incapable of making just because they might just make them in ways that benefit their communities and humanity at large instead of playing some psychopathic and self-destructive zero sum game with all our futures. Fuck ‘em. Fuck the lot of ‘em. Oh, you’re a “leader” are you? Fuck you. The world doesn’t need you or your toxic bullshit. You’re worse than useless.

     CEOs are natural or groomed sociopaths. That is the special trait that is needed to make the "hard decisions". Those decisions are often unethical and involve exploiting classes of people, decisions that typical people are just as capable of making BUT WOULD REFUSE to make. This is all enshrined in law, so everyone involved can just shrug and say " I was just doing what the law dictates".
