    An apology isn’t good enough. The fascist-complying execs have to be fired.

      As a shareholder, I agree. The boards actions show that their priorities don’t align with shareholder profits, American ideals, or a worthwhile moral footing. In a just world, they would be stripped of all of their assets, and given a stipend to live in an apartment that can be afforded in the lowest paying wage their old company offered, doing that job, day in, and day out, until they reach the same retirement age everyone else has to, or the pension age, if the company has one(spoiler, they don’t). Make them unable to accept money from outside accounts, and monitor their savings like you would a disabled person on Medicare. If they make too much, they go to prison, or have the extra seized.

      Being a CEO who has the power of themselves as a person, and the power of a corporation as a ubiquitous person free of liability and direct punishment, it should be an incredibly high risk, high reward proposal. You want the the 100 million a year payout for a position, that literally anyone could do? Then fine, failure means becoming the lowest tier your company has. If anything you’ll see higher wages across the board. It would be stupid to not hedge your bets
