The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I honestly do not get how thick these people can be, yet get so well paid in these high up positions.

The corporate world doesn't promote people based on ability, it promotes based on how much ass you kiss and what college your parents could afford to send you.

If the CEO of Bob's Store hired Senator John's son then suddenly zoning issues disappear for his new space. The CEO of Bob's even donates to several fundraisers for Senator John and makes donations to charities he knows John is a part of. John uses this information to inform his decision on who gets a cushy position position at the charity and if Bob's competitor will be allowed to expand.
