    It would be ridiculous to claim that they can’t. The risk / responsibility that the role supposedly carries is the entire argument for why they earn that much money.

    If they “decide” but aren’t responsible for the decision, their “leadership” is worthless. Literally.

    I’m a manager at a business and I have to take endless training on how I can be held responsible for things my company and employees do so I better be damn well sure I know what I’m signing off on. Yet these rich assholes get away with pretty much murder.
