It’s true though
1. We shouldn't have CEOs, in which case most businesses today wouldn't exist. Using Apple as an example, it never would have released the products it did - not to say Steve or Tim are soldering iPhone components, that's clearly not what I mean. But you can't honestly believe that Jobs didn't play some role in directing Apple early on and instilling a certain culture (for better or worse). Maybe you think that employee-owned co-ops would produce things of higher value for lower cost, but that hasn't really been the cast so far in human history. Employee-owned companies exist and none of them are producing world-class products, and most of them still have CEOs.
2. You think we should have CEOs, maybe because they're a necessary evil or something, but you still want to bitch about it online, in which case ... :shrug:?
What's the third option?
There's over 30 million businesses in the US [0], and 200,000 CEOs.
Is it really impossible to imagine another structure that doesn't involve a CEO or chief?
I don't personally think it'll change anything (nor do I have any hatred for CEOs), we'll just hate whoever made the decision. It's just easier when it's one human-with-out-of-fashion-attributes who makes a lot of money.

I was just responding to this. Sounds like you agree we'd have "most" of the 30M businesses left.
It's quite difficult to imagine one that works for most large companies, at the very least. Name a couple if it's so easy.
