Nearly 50% of managers of publicly traded companies come from business schools. They must be doing something right.

In the Twilight Zone episode Brain Center At Whipple's the CEO is replaced by a robot. The robots job? To pace around the office swinging a watch. People have always known these are BS jobs.

They are… most of them were born into family of “managers”. If you remove people who actually founded brand new companies (not financed them… but actually founded), than most of “C” level managers are just got on the “money train” because of been born into “right” family. Going through “business school” is just a way to extend they Rolodex of the “useful contacts”… to ensure that they stay employed till time to retire (at 40) and that they can pass this Rolodex to they kids.

People who found companies get thrown out of them by hollow suits that run them into the ground.

My first full time job bounced my pay and blocked my unemployment, what happened before that was they stripped the company of virtually all revenue to collect their golden parachutes, what happened before that was they dismissed the man who built the company as a lemonade stand with tools generations ago.

AI, come quickly and come with fire.

The psychopathic shareholders who control all the wealth and capital will just use AI to continue doing psychopathic things.

It's not looking good for us without some near immediate collective action.
