Conservatives always talk about how government should run like a business.
If a CEO went to Cancun and skipped the big board meeting with the company about to go under, they'd be fired.
When a senator does this, they just say "fake news" and continue their 6-year term.
5 years ago, FOX talking heads laughed at me when I cut my CEO pay $1 million to pay all employee a living wage. They said it would be a failed socialist experiment.
Just went on Fox to talk about how our business has tripled since then.

I always hear rich people deserve all that money because they take on all the risk.
During a devastating economy, billionaires gained $1 trillion in 2020. Only 16 billionaires lost at least $1B.
Seems like workers take on the risk: When things get tough, only they pay a price.
When they get the job, every big-company CEO should have their assets frozen and survive on their lowest-paid employees' salary for a year.
After I did that, our lowest-paid employee wage doubled. As a millionaire CEO, it's harder to see how tough it is to survive on low pay.
Infants, even before they can talk, show a preference for examples of helpful behaviour and turn away from illustrations of harm. The conclusion is that basic human nature is positive and kind. Therefore, cultivating warm-heartedness and compassion is something we can all do.
