You end up driving up the share price in the short term and destroying the company in the long term but by then you’re gone as CEO with your golden parachute. Not unlike presidents who will be gone in 4 years time (if second term) and let someone else deal with the consequences of their actions.

There are definitely people who think that a president who just violates the law in order to achieve these outcomes is a fine thing. Those people are lost. Nothing I can say to those people will stop them from eventually putting a bullet in my brain.

The goal should be messaging to everybody else. Especially those who might like the outcomes of Trump's crimes but would prefer not to have a president that just smashes through the law to get there. A way to help achieve this is to repeat, over and over and over, that Trump's actions are violating shitloads of laws.

I, for one, am glad I'm not living through the legacy of Jack Welch's government management.

Companies can declare bankruptcy and fold their hand: governments, notsomuch.

It's good that your grandfather isn't alive to see the catastrophe that is GE.

Jack Welch is the reason corporate America is a shit show, and GE is a joke.
