This is the MP who lost his seat, right?

Probably. See weird names and emails from what’s obviously the same person all the time.

It’s like when I walk into every room and inform everyone that I’m not a murderer. There’s always some asshole who thinks that means I am a murderer.

Like, dude, I just told you I wasn’t.

I’m partial to Luna.

Directors must be salivating at the idea of actors who never say “I’m cold” or “that’s dangerous” or “you’re a hack.”

Zankoku na tenshi no you ni…

Less of a descent. More of an ascent mimicking a conspicuously stiff-armed wave.

Und And we will put rockets HERE, and THERE and one full of (the good kind of) Afrikkkaners HERE!

I’m not exaggerating or being unkind — the enlightenment never reached Russia.

They only believe in strongmen leaders. They don’t believe in or even understand institutions or democracy.

Their idea of the worker seizing the means of production is a dictatorial regime based on slavery.

Next you’ll tell me French toast isn’t.

Wow, what an excellent point, DandomRude!✨

Oh. Okay.

Legally, CEOs have a duty of loyalty — they are legally liable if they are working on behalf of their company’s competitor to sabotage their company. They also have a duty of care — they can’t just withdraw the company’s cash and light it on fire.

There’s no law saying that a CEO must “maximize shareholder profit.” None. It’s not a law. It doesn’t even make sense. Non-profits have CEOS and they don’t maximize profit. How would you even legally prove a CEO failed to do that? Should Tim Cook be sued because he didn’t buy NFTs when they were on the ascent to maximize short-term profit?

As a practical matter, if a board doesn’t like the direction a CEO is taking or the CEO’s efficacy, then they can take steps to remove the CEO. But there’s essentially zero legal recourse for shareholders.

This myth comes from a paper from Milton Freedman (or one of his acolytes) that argued a CEO should be paid principally in stock to align the CEO’s interests with shareholders. But studies by actual economists show that leads to looting the company. E.g., fire all the employees, stock goes up, CEO cashes out before the shit hits the fan.

Now do the rest of them.

Thanks to the legal concept of fiduciary duty to shareholders

Imma stop you right there. That’s not a thing.

Tailpipe.

Will he though.

The Epstein class gets a convenient case of bone spurs every time there’s a draft.

Oh no how unfortunate.

He’s got three more years to see how many faces he can eat.
