something like 1 in 5 CEOs is a psychopath iirc. Same ratio you see in prisons. Ratio in the general population is like 1 in 200 or 1 in 100.
the other 4 CEOs might not be psychopaths, but with a 20% psychopathy rate the remaining 80% are gonna be trending toward the callous end of the normal spectrum.
add onto that callousness all the greed, narcissism, classism, and diffusion of responsibility / "it's not my fault" delusion and the other 4 CEOs might as well be psychopaths.
The other four might not be psychos, some of them might have a little empathy for their workers like the Costco guy. But the other four have to compete with the psychos or be replaced by one. They learn to act like the psychos and compartmentalize it by saying "it's just business." So they're all psychos, four out of five just do it for the paycheck.

a pincher movement:
one arm is "that's just how it is - blame the system, not me"
and the other arm is "and also the system is good"
and between the two arms is formless reactionary nonsense that varies from person to person
