On Chief Executive Officers

Source: Waste No More Time
by Nicholas Sarwark

“Corporations and governments being legal entities that aren’t natural persons, they still require natural persons to direct their efforts. This is an incredible amount of power for a person to have. CEOs of some of the larger public companies can direct the efforts of thousands of people and millions of dollars by sending a text message. They can buy entire media outlets to present the best face of their company to the public. They can change elections. The killing of a CEO is a reminder that with great power comes great responsibility. The corporation is a fictional person but the CEO is a very real human being, as is a leader of a government. When the legal fictions start to break down in holding the organization accountable for abuse, people have historically taken their grievances to the Chief Executive Officers of corporations and governments.” (12/16/24)
