Execs and the late stage capitalism game they play is ruining everything.

Seriously. They're actually betting against their own long term survival and it's baffling.

They don't care about their own long term survival. Their goal is to boost the next quarter and collect their bonuses, and when things go south, they jump ship with their golden parachutes and head to their next executive job.
