@redsad I realise it's not the point, but I never understood why the CEO deserved any respect just because he's a CEO.
Same applies to cops and soldiers.
Fuck those guys.

@NickSchwanck @redsad Actually I think that is the point. A janitor does lots of immediately useful things while having little power.

I have heard it said that a good indicator of someone's status within a work hierarchy is how long it takes before someone can be away before they are missed. For a janitor, hours at most.

BTW this dialogue is a classic. Saw it first during Trump I.

@martinvermeer @redsad I'm reminded of a scene from The Simpsons. I believe the town had gathered to discuss building a monorail. There was arguing and disagreement. Them somebody yelled; "Let's ask the richest, and therefore smartest, person in the room what HE thinks!".

@NickSchwanck @redsad And that would work if society were built in such a way that the wisest people, not the most cunning and ruthless ones, would float to the top. But here we are.
