    What do you think happens to companies when a CEO dies suddenly- from murder or from another cause?

    Because the answer is not that the company folds or that it suddenly puts people over profits. The answer is the company finds a new CEO who puts profit over people.

    There is no shortage of people with MBAs.

      Do you think there are just 2700 CEOs and that that’s what that number refers to?

      But to answer your question, perhaps at some point the CEO taking over for the murdered one thinks deeper about business practices. Maybe even the merit of killing people for profit with your business practices is taught in MBA programs alongside the possibility or in some happy world likelihood of being punished accordingly for doing so.

        That’s not how corporations work.

        They are required to generate a profit for their shareholders. If they don’t, the CEO can be removed by the shareholders and the board and replaced.

        I get it. You want things to be easy. They aren’t. There is not an easy way out of global capitalism that involves shooting a few people, sorry.

            This does not make things easier. In any way. CEOs die suddenly all the time. It hasn’t changed anything ever in terms of how corporations are legally required to operate.

            You can kill a CEO a day and the legal issue does not change. They will not put people over profits just because people are dying. Why that isn’t clear yet I don’t know.

        Not sure what you are doing, but harassing someone isn’t behavior that should be supported. If someone doesn’t respond to you, chasing them around to other comment sections to get answers isnt only gross, but may be something you should discuss with a therapist.

        Are you now going to stalk me across Lemmy trying to get you to admit I’m totally definitely a cop for sure?

        Because I already told you I went to the police academy when I was age 5 and got into the FBI by age 9.
