Bill Penzey would be safe in my book. Penzey's spices are a fantastic product, but he's an activist who very vocally supports equality, respect, and human dignity.

Shortly after the election I received a blanket from them with a very kind note. Apparently they had a promotion where you could submit the name and address of someone who is struggling and could use a hug. I have no idea who nominated me, but I'm so grateful. Penzey's didn't change any money for this, which is crazy to me.

I just went to the website and was my attention was first on the link "About Republicans". An essay on the current fall of the Republican party and why they don't believe in them anymore. I think they deserve some of my money.

The ones without public shareholders.

The ones that are vocal about issues and on the right side of history.

Maybe all CEOs get a yearly review. If they are good, they continue working. If something doesn't add up, they get to choose to quit or they get executed right on the spot by placing their head between two large metal plates. The top plate is then dropped from 3 stories high.

This sounds like the start of how liberal govt. was invented.

We'll end up with elected reps, laws, courts etc.

Which will soon be corrupted by the private sector

We'll need to invent some kind of open source decentralized communications platform to discuss the problem.

He's not a CEO any more, but Bill Gates is on a mission to die a mere millionaire, and I think has already given away more than half his net worth.

He was kind of a prick becoming a billionaire, so his is more of a redemption arc than a hero's journey.

My company's owner/CEO can stay, gives us all sizeable profit share bonuses. During covid people didn't get layed off, even though there was no work. Sure hours were reduced, but work was found around the shop to keep people busy as much as possible.

In other words, small business owners that care about employee and their clients.

Valve and CloudFlare.

Cloudflare provides valuable services this day on age but they’re building into a dangerous monolith of internet structure. Not sure how comfortable I am with that

I would rather focus on billionaire and millionaire than CEO since both are not automatically interchangeable.... .

You can be a CEO In a small business without being a millionaire of the same category as the one of United HealthCare

Spains Mercadonas CEO. They follow a very respected model where the consumer is the first priority, then the employees. Works great and they still make a shitton of money. Things like closing sundays because employees should have a life, etc. Employee rotation is super low.
