Execs are tyrants, and we have an amendment in mind for that.
Execs are not tyrants, they are lap dogs of the owner class...
This just a dead officer within the cartel structure, the Don is still winning and this a small price to lay for him to find out that we have him.
Owners will adjust and working class gloating will face retaliation.
The execs take perverse delight in the ways they rob the workers of their wealth, make them suffer, and leave them to die. They are cruel and oppressive. They aren't simply lap dogs, and not all of then are beholden to hire ups. Many of them like Bezos and Musk are the ones in charge.
If you work at a company, did you elect the execs of that company? Do you have any way within the system of the company to hold said execs in check when they abuse their power? Did you vote for the pay scale of the company? Did you vote on benefits packages?
The answer to all these is almost certainly no. The execs are the business equivalent of dictators. They are tyrants, even if "benevolent" or controlled by a higher up tyrant.
And we see the same thing happen on a country level on the world stage. Big powers will topple or influence small countries and install a dictator that is beholden to the big power. That doesn't make the dictator any less of a dictator just because they themselves are owned.
