How do you get to be a CEO while being this stupid? Even if he was right, has he never heard the elementary phrase "the customer is always right"? Or more accurately, thousands of customers?

Since when been intelligent is a requirement to be CEO?

Wealth, high social status... has nothing to do with competence.

It mostly has to do with how much money you start with, who you know, and dumb luck.

Don't forget a complete lack of shame!

Ah, right yes, I forgot sociopathy.

How silly of me.

You might want to look up the actual meaning of the phrase. It might apply here but not in the way you think. This isn’t early 20th century Sears.

Read the wiki page there is a German and Dutch version in Wikipedia.

Just because there are translations, doesn't mean it was common place.

Sure there are some capitalists with that mindset in just about every country, but in Europe if any company tried to enforce it, the unions would squash it immediately. Because it is dumb and hurts the workers.
