Running a democratic institution "like a business" is one of the stupidest ideas going, full stop.

A business is a private tyranny. It is not like the workers can vote the C-suite and the board out of office.

They are nothing alike. I've always loathed this stupid talking point. It was ridiculous when talking heads keep parroting stupid terms like a "CEO President", too. Facepalm
