Arguably, it's better that these people are in private industry than in government, which might be considered a feature of the system. Some have argued that civilization is mostly concerned with the management of sociopaths: this guy seems fucking horrible, but at least his ambition took him here, instead of being the "Duke of Feeding People and Medicine" or something where his shittyness would kill people.

I feel kind of gross writing that, for the record, but think it's true.

1) While he is shitty that does not make him incompetent, I would dare to say that if the incentives were right, assholes might even be a great in government and do an awesome job as 2) The fact that assholes are more obvious in the private sector does not preclude them from existing in the state sector. They might just be more hidden.

They belong in prison, not in industry.

Oh absolutely, but making the steps they take to get there as non-genocidal as possible is also very important.

There's video of him striking his SO 117 times, hopefully he goes to prison and stays there.
