I would care more about a single bulb on that tree burning out than any lowlife scumbag insurance CEO.

Not every CEO is a monster but I gotta be honest I struggle to believe whether this fella had absolutely no involvement in the borderline client manslaughter going on at the insurance company..

They're monsters by definition. Their job requires them to be. They might be nice to people they know, and they might be pleasant to be around, but they cause mass death. You can argue about whether they are evil, but they are most certainly, and irrevocably, doing evil.

I know dudes who run a company and become incorporated because legality and the type of company there running. They are the only employee and are techinically the CEO. A small business can become incorporated and are technically a corporation at that point and have a CEO.

Exceptions are obviously the rule, when wealth inequality is what really matters. I made another nearby comment about this.

So all CEOs are evil or just healthcare CEOs?

Neither. "healthcare" CEO implies they're involved in actual healthcare. Insurance CEO's are all evil, full stop.

Every other CEO, if a billionaire, is evil. You can't gain a billion dollars of worth without committing so much exploitation and misery that you are causing more evil than your life is worth.

Now, if your company doesn't have anything to do with public goods, and you aren't hoarding state-changing amounts of resources, then you're not evil, probably just an asshole.
