Everything about CEOs is like a monarchy. Wealth inheritance in business families like the Waltons? Just the capitalism version of royal heirs getting their throne. Presidents? They don’t run jackshit ever since money got into politics

America is back in the era of kings, and arguably a worse one

    absolutely true. King is just a label though, for the top of that particular pyramid of power. There’s also emperor, caesar/kaiser, pope, CEO, …, all atop their own pyramids scrambling to make it bigger so they, the figureheads themselves, grow more important. Such silly nonsense.

      And they’re proving that time and time again they don’t even know what to do with that kind of power. Utter fucking morons. Why can’t they just BE RICH?
