These same CEOs will say they work sun up to sun down and then they just consider any moment they are awake “working”
enjoying a lavished catered lunch on the company dime: work
having drinks with other executives punctuated by the occasional sentence here or there about buckling down for next quarter: work
sitting and barely listening to a presentation someone else put together and then making a semi-random decision based off a partial understanding after someone has boiled all the complexity away into two viable solutions that are only cosmetically different: work
And then after a long day of doing nothing of value they go back to their mansion and enjoy their 8 figure salaries and “read a paper” or “think about work” and consider that burning the midnight oil while all the material cares in the world are easily handled for them.
Historically speaking, the nobility and wealthy had all the damn time in the world to do whatever they hell they wanted. They only managed a few things while their servants and/or slaves did the rest.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
That's great that they all found something that they can healthily obsess over and that also makes them rich. Spend as much time on your passion as you want.
Unfortunately, I'm not as passionate about your company as you are. You need to pay me for every hour you want me to contribute to it. If I'm not getting paid on a Saturday, then I'm not working for your company on a Saturday.

Well, they also fire large portions of their workforce when times are tight or their bonus is in jeopardy. I feel for them...

Tell us you don't cook, clean, shop, or otherwise manage annoying household tasks without telling us you're worthless at home

As a single guy who lives alone my diet does suffer as a result of that.

I suggest we tax them by taking everything they have and throwing them into reeducation camps for ten years

Simple as that.

If that man knows how to walk into a grocery store and shop for himself I'll eat my hat.

They keep saying this, and perhaps one beautiful day we will be able to make them work 12 hours a day in the mines

Fuck this dude. Tax his wealth so that he actually wishes he had work-life balance.
