I like that he even gives us an unusual leftist strawman. We don't think CEO's are profit optimizing machines. In fact, most leftists I know believe that if you got rid of your C.E.O. you would probably get more profit, because you don't have a 10 million dollar a year albatross pretending to work at the top of your company. What we believe is that C.E.O.'s, regardless of their intentions, are systemically forced into attempting a position of profit maximization, as will forever under a capitalist system, because that is what the system requires you to do.

Which means any and all 'socially progressive' measures they take are, whatever their intentions or beliefs about their own intentions, are ultimately for show. They went bananas over D.E.I. because it was the pizza party they give workers, but for liberals.

Truely a cursed liberal mind, if he actually believes what he says.
