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.

Yep. These guys are paid millions, even when they mismanage their companies. Then they usually leave with golden parachutes worth millions more.

IMHO part of it is from the govt changing hands. Think of all of the private industries that depend on govt contracts.

If the board had believed in a CEO who said he knew how to get contracts when a Dim is in the WH, that same board might not feel as certain with him getting contracts with Trump in the WH and expecting different things from government contractors.

True. In addition, more and more CEO candidates don't want to come in and have to clean up the mess their predecessor left for them.
