Take the money and run, mostly, I reckon.
They see how unbalanced the US is in its finances. They don’t want to do the hard work of keeping companies afloat during trying times.
Those aren’t real businesses.
I made a vow never to work again at age 62. As long as there’s plenty of others working out there the retirees will continue to thrive. Us sedentaries need people to work and pay taxes to keep the government running. I saw an old, obese flight attendant walking through the airport. Good she’s doing something-I’m not. Young attractive used to compete for those jobs. Overweights would get grounded. Not happening.
Cut every program to scare the lazy. I’d lease land in some $hit-hole countries and build prisons-cheap labor under US ‘control’.
The Biden gravy train has left the station. Government spending will go elsewhere. The COVID and Green New Deal money will be redirected.
Joe Biden spent the first half of his presidency enacting plans to steer at least $1.6 trillion to transform the economy and spur a clean-energy revolution — only to watch those programs become afterthoughts in the 2024 election.
Now the core of his domestic legacy stands unfinished, with hundreds of billions of dollars left to deploy, and imperiled as Donald Trump prepares to take office.
A wide-ranging examination of the Biden administration’s spending and tax policies reveals signs that his efforts could leave a lasting mark, but also ways in which his agenda has yet to take hold — after unleashing money for batteries, solar cells, computer chips and clean water; luring foreign-owned factories to U.S. soil; and turning some red-state Republicans into supporters of green energy projects.
Stick 2m in the bank, downsize and pay off your home. That's 4k a month you can take from your retirement account for 40+ years. Throw in a pension and S.s. you've got a 80-90k income be8ng retired. Why stay in the rat race??? Go do something you've always wanted. Buy a boat, go bother your kids and grand kids, spend a month in a cabin on top of a mountain in Tennessee!
I’ll take the job for half of what they were getting. And I’d only need to work it for one month.
My hunch: Lots of fashionably woke CEOs run their company into the ground (or nearly so) and are forced to “move on”.
DEI CEOs ?
In the past, a CEO has driven his company to make record profits and the company stock goes up Up UP!
The CEO then finds a buyer for his profitable company and sells his own company to the competition, sells his own shares, retires rich!
Sadly when he dumps his own shares on the market the stock falls after the sale, but he is in good shape.
Going Galt
How many were seen at diddy-type parties and now trying to get out?
CEOs might leave the job somewhere, but they usually land in the same or similar job somewhere else. We used to call it the CEO mortgage protection game.
