Sweet unmerciful fuck. This has blown up way beyond what it should have. A few things to shut up the pearl clutches:
-
Generally speaking people don't have problems with business OWNERS. Sure you're technically a CEO but that's like asking why a tomato isn't in a fruit salad.
-
No one is really operating under the MO of offing all CEOs everywhere just because they took the job.
-
You're absolutely right, not all CEOs are bad. Some still look at their employees and see valued assets that they invest in and grow. And they'll never make the news.

If you oversaw your company creating an algorithm that literally put weighted values to people's lives and then denied them coverage that they were confirmed to be eligible for through the programs that they pay you money for while also when being pointed out that this algorithm inaccurately denies people their coverage and has caused actual documented deaths....then if you're going to play at that table with people's lives don't look shocked when it's your turn to ante up.
Oh no, 'extremeism' like demanding basic human rights, public services, and ending the wealth disparity caused by capitalism. How scary. Definitely as equally scary as far right extremism that's about genocide, fascism, and imperialism. What an enlightened centrist take
