    Once they are killing you in the streets and everyone is cheering, it is too late for striking a transparently false empathetic tone.

    The idea that Witty, who earned $23.5 million last year alone and is a Brit literally knighted by the UK, would “understand” the struggle of any ordinary person is of course laughable.

    Fuck

    Unnecessary middleman responsible for human suffering promises to produce the same amount of suffering while having a concerned look on his face.

    It’s typical CEO speak to write entire articles for the New York Times that say essentially nothing, promise nothing, and only give meaningless platitudes.

    It isn’t unique to just CEOs, all the C-levels do this shit. I once had a Chief Manufacturing Officer mention “creating Value” four times in one paragraph, which was pointless.

    The kinder tone is just so it blows over. Then it remains the same, or at best crumbs are given for a while, to get worse again.

    This is HORRIBLE! Why couldn’t we just have Peaceful Protests that these SAINTS could Ignore?

      If we want change then our only effective means are boycotts, strikes, and riots. The only languages our oppressors understand are money and physical violence.

      Murdering a CEO is an individual riot.

        They care much more about a CEO getting capped than riots. Riots don’t affect them or even have the potential to theoretically affect them.

        Boycotts and strikes can work, but they’d have to be much bigger than what’s happened so far.
