YES. If the execs are ultimately responsible, why aren't they taking pay cuts? Why aren't they getting fired? I mean we know the answer but the theater around this is so ridiculous.
“workers are always the first to go when overly-compensated management, insulated from real-world consequences, say they need to tighten their belts. the only people to blame for all these job losses—and all the associated upheaval and distress—are executives.”

I think a lot of people who do not live in the United States have a hard conceptualising what electoral politics is actually like when the most watched news network isn’t held to any standards of truth, private money is fully allowed in politics and fascist talking points don’t make anyone blink

Here comes the next set of shoes to drop. The end of gay marriage and potential marriage between races. This will ultimately be used to challenge and end lgbtq rights at the Supreme Court.
