Yes CEOs are to blame, but blaming them isn't gonna do anything. They won't change. Who has the motivation and capacity to change things? The working people. Who isn't currently doing it? The working people. So it seems appropriate for me to raise this fact as a problem, the fact that the working people silently go along with all the evil plans ceos put in place

> They already pay taxes preciselly for this purpose!
That gets you employees, but if you've ever hired employees in a private business before you'll know that you have to carefully babysit them or they'll go off and do their own thing. The employees you hire for government are not a different type of creature. The same applies there. Even where there is genuine care to serve your interests as their employer, it is impossible for them to be mind readers. As their employer, your active engagement is an imperative. If you don't literally sit down with them on a regular basis and discuss what needs to be done, you're going to get poor results.
Which is what the parent comment is asserting: That the working people are not acting as the employer. Maybe you're right that the working people don't have the capacity to be the boss, but then what are they arbitrarily hiring employees for?
Organized working people have the capacity to change everything. That's my opinion at least

Respectfully, do you exist on 2023? This hasn't been true in the US (where the majority of HN lives) since Trump took office.
