Like a public list of the most deserving billionaires and why they deserve to be on the list. It probably would make more of them do what the 5 guys CEO did.

      CEOs get a lot of hate but that’s intentional. They’re really just the fall guys, the disposable lightning rods to attract the hatred and the consequences for the true villains actually motivating the evil decisions the CEOs make. Meanwhile they ride the executive suite carousel, round and round the economy, looking important and golden parachuting from one company to another, pretending they’re making the hard decisions when they’re really just making the only decisions they’re allowed to. They make a lot of money compared to the rest of us, but they typically don’t make billionaire money unless they’re owner/CEOs.

      It’s the owners and the financiers and the corrupt politicians and lobbyists really calling the shots. The CEOs are just their henchmen and executioners. They’re well compensated for what they do, but they’re not really in charge.
