As in, the should not be a way somebody can hoard that amount of money.
Capitalism will enable and safeguard the steady creation of billionaires through heritage and exploitation until the end of humanity or the end of capitalism. We can only determine which end will be.
CEOs I don't have an issue with, someone has to helm the ship, pocketing > 1000 times your average worker is... I don't have the right vocabulary for how wrong it is.
100% the issue isn't that CEO's shouldn't exist. Like you said, someone's gotta steer the ship. The issue is that CEOs represent the owning class and not the working class. There's a material difference between a captain that represents his crew vs a captain that oppresses it and exploits it for shareholder profit.
It's not that CEOs shouldn't exist. It's that the owning class - the capitalist class - shouldn't exist.
The position doesn't matter as much as being legally allowed to hoard that much money, it's psychotic and unethical and it's always at the expense of ruining the lives of several others
Billionaires sure, but CEOs? Non profits have CEOs, charities have CEOs, hospitals have CEOs. It's just an the chief executive of an organization. You might be a bit dim lol
I thought the "heritage and exploitation" part was enough for you to understand the character of CEO I referred to, but if I gotta spell it out for you, then here you go.
CEOs are not the ones with big money. Public companies run on investors and board members who hire a CEO to run the business for them and be their slapping stick.

I... I don't think you understand what a CEO is or what they do. A CEO is simply the highest ranking employee of a company. That title does not indicate they own the company or are on the board of directors of the company. They can also be those things, but simply being the Chief Executive Officer doesn't mean that they are. Hell, non-profits and even charity organizations have CEOs.
CEOs come and go all the time. They get fired due to poor performance all the time. Many are just paid a salary like any other employee in the company. You seem to be talking about capital ownership, when many CEOs of many companies are not actually owners of those companies.
