    And what kind of job do you think those shareholders do?

    They are CEOs of other companies.

      Being a CEO and being a shareholder have nothing to do with each other.

      The truly rich, AKA the major shareholders, aren’t going to bother with a job, unless running their own company (probably the one they’re the major shareholder at).

      Then the big institutional shareholders (Blackrock and the like) invest other people’s money - people like you and me.

      Only a minority of shareholders for any given company, are CEOs at other companies.

      It’s still a club for the ultra rich and we ain’t in it. I’m just saying that your average CEO is set up to be a scapegoat for even richer and shadier people (while still very much not being one of us working class citizens)
