CEO salary scales with overall company performance, not the pay of individuals. CEOs are paid lots of money to hedge the massive amount of risk that exists when shareholders of a massive corporation trust a leader to have authority over all operational decisions. The CEOs to watch out for are the ones making huge…

CEOs are to companies what presidents and generals are to militaries. Most of their work is taking in vast amounts of information from many sources that all want a piece of the pie, and then making general decisions (including advisers, work flow management, etc.) on how the company operates - plus having final…

Read the study. All it says is that there’s a positive correlation between confident appearance and CEO salary, but that CEO performance doesn’t also scale with salary. So in other words, if you are already a CEO and want to earn more money, it’s better to look better than to work harder. That doesn’t mean CEOs don’t…

It’s from spending most of your life surrounded by people who wouldn’t dare criticize your appearance. You’re so rich, who cares how you look? It’s never going to stop you from what you want to do.

A lot of company bylaw forms require having an elected CEO, whether that officer has anyone to ‘execute’ power over or not.

An important part of being a CEO is assuming responsibility for the shareholder and board of director’s concerns. The CEO is essentially a shield of trust between those who own a company and those who run it.

It’s not the speed that kills, but losing control. People should be slowing down in adverse conditions (snow, rain) more, but otherwise paying attention to the road and not drinking will make far more of an impact on safety.

The reason why medical teams remove organs as quickly as possible is because there is often a waitlist, where people’s lives are measured in minutes to get those organs donated and transported to a recipient who would otherwise die without them.

Pretty corpses last for a few weeks, at most.

in any way that empowers ideals that are counter to the ones this country was founded on which is exactly what our leaders would do by being too friendly.

Those natural resources aren’t really powerful since they are untapped and lack the labor to utilize them. Otherwise, they would be reflected in GDP.

Russia isn’t an enemy of democracy, capitalism and freedom. They’re an enemy of anyone who doesn’t want to see Russia become the USSR again. Yes, they commit crimes, yes, they murder and manipulate their masses, but that is no reason for the US to go to war with them, a war that we cannot afford. USA isn’t the world…

In many cities, they do. Mob wars aren’t pretty, it’s better to be diplomatic and search for a greater good than to try to eliminate all crime, especially since outright murder and violence isn’t good for the mob either - they want to make money (albeit illegally) too.

In terms of GDP, Russia is 12th. In terms of defense spending they’re 4th. Russia is about on-par with a single European country (UK, India, France) but without the EU or NATO to back them up.

I meant more about perception rather than classification. If Russia is only able to grow because America allows it to grow, then it would rather go to war. The perception is that Russia is strong, and left to its own devices, Russia would be stronger than America, but NATO and the US is stopping them from being what…

Yeah, there’s an ingrained traditionalism in the country and it’s so autocratic that there’s less and less of a diplomatic option for foreign aid helping russia. Russia had their “make russia great again” moments decades ago and we’re just now realizing what that means.

Their people want to see economic growth and expansionism back to a first-world-country status. The government wants to remain in power without revolution, so they will continue to pursue that.

The Russian government is against anyone who opposes expansionism/nationalism of the russian sphere of influence. That includes the U.N. and NATO, and the U.S.

In this case, Russia is buying a future stake of up to 20% of the supply in exchange for investment and jobs, but is unable to move that supply out of the USA.

If we taught basic economics, it would be more obvious to understand the ROI on healthcare, infrastructure, and education. Economics is too often politicized, and only econ majors at major universities ever get beyond 101 to learn the basics.
