CEOs have not been held accountable for their actions by the legal system. This is inevitable with the way the United States is set up
If this happens to two or three more CEOs over the next couple of months, they'll change their position on gun control, not change their behaviors that made somebody do this. And "they're coming for our guns" morons would find a way to not only excuse it, but fully support it, at least at first.
If this happens to multiple CEOs, companies will just implement secret-service style security for the C-suite. Wouldn't even be a rounding error in CEO compensation.
I mean having to live in a fortress and being afraid to go into a coffee shop without armed guards is no way to live... it wouldn't be a fun time for those poor, sociopathic bastards. But I guess having those extra digits in their bank accounts makes up for it?
they legit just send out the interns to go get coffee, so much that it's a trope at this point. these people barely raise their own fucking kids, they don't give a shit about any of those like, minor pleasures. they have cocaine, and other rich people who are constantly willing to kiss each other's ass in a big circle, human centipede ouroborous style.
Living in fear with constant security has to be better than just treating people better, right?
They have the money to hire a 24/7 coffee shop on their private island. I don't think it's so bad for them.
