    Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the “salaried” thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed “blacks”, not CEOs.

      They‘re just treating him like this because it is less common to kill a CEO than students or black people.

      I hope nobody changes that, sincerely. I really hope that, from the bottom of my heart. If someone was to hunt CEOs for sport, that would be so awful! Oh dear lord I would not want to live in a world where poor innocent CEOs were hunted like dogs.

        It would be a horribly dystopian twist on Battle Royale / Hunger Games if CEOs of companies found to have caused needless death or suffering, were rounded up and pitted against each other. And televised.

        Nobody should think of that. It’s terrible. Can nobody write that down please.

        Race doesn’t matter as much once you have enough money and power. Think of Jo Bob from the widget factory and his black friend George. He hates black people but he loves George because he’s One of the Good Ones™️

        Edit- Once I was at a party at a guy I’ve known for a long time’s new house. He was making big money (for us) as a factory supervisor and got to buy a house. He and his wife’s parents are rich but I don’t know if they gave them money or not.

        He’s from out in the country. One of my wife’s friends from high school. He gets drunk and starts talking about how there’s only one black guy working in his division and that guy laughs at the racist jokes and doesn’t care when people say removed.

        Now I’ve ruined people’s time before for very stupid reasons, but this time I had a good one. I loudly told him what he and his employees were doing was racist as fuck and the black dude was going along with being dehumanized because he needed the fucking job. He’s hated me ever since.
