    "So, board of directors, you can force me to do any dumb thing you want, or fire me for not doing it? Yeah. Imma need an escape shuttle."

    "Fine. We'll cut you a check for a couple of million if it comes to that. But we're so smart, it won't come to that."

    "It came to that."

    "Here's your check."

    Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    Abd what would you propose we do with the board of directors? Ya know, the people actually running the show?

    Y'all are suckers. They put out a Judas goat and you eat it up.

    No one's saying they can't also be dropped from a plane while strapped to a heavy weight. Planes are big, there's room for CEOs and boards, and anyone else who promotes enshittification. 🤷‍♂️
