To clarify my remarks about capitalism. The issue with paying CEOs tens or hundreds of millions of dollars is that frequently CEOs get paid that much for doing a shitty job and making decisions that cost the company dearly. For example Kodak. We watched that company commit suicide in front of our eyes, and everybody could see that they were destroying the company on purpose. And the CEO took home amazingly huge piles of cash for doing it.
The system just doesn't work properly when the companies get too big. It is a problem of scale.
You can't scale a mouse up by multiplying the size of every bone and physical feature by 100. The bones would snap and the creature would be nonviable.
Didn't Kodak invent digital image capture and refuse to go the creative destruction route and kill off film? OTOH, KODK has traded at ~$4/share for the last few months. Perhaps look at it through the GME lens?

Yes.
I know the guys that worked on the first digital camera and have held some of the prototypes.
Yes I'm an old guy.
Management was horrified by the idea of a digital camera and killed it and let competitors ruin their film business.
