@rbreich Boeing is the best example of CFO mindset where a CEO should be in charge. The evidence is clear that they produce short term profits at long term declines. This company had an excellent engineering reputation and it was cashed in. But we are doing the same thing everywhere by allowing private equity to own our community services.
