There's no joke about how to tell when a startup CEO is lying, there is however a joke about politicians.
Seriously though, president is probably the least important job in america. I bet America would be just fine without a president for the next 100 years. Why you elect presidents based on things like 'likability' and 'electability' is because it's a very unimportant job, that just about anyone can do.
Probably why America doesn't elect very many highly trained people to do the job. Community organizers, peanut farmers, coke addicts, philanderers, actors, etc.
I'm curious... why would America be fine with no president for 100 years, but a bad CEO means a company goes under?
I'm seriously having a hard time finding a lot of logic in your response. And I'm not joking. I find it incredibly hypocritical that our society just accepts political trash.
And there's no executive board in most sovereignties... yet similar patterns arise. Despite some snarkiness, this is a legitimate question and a serious problem. I'm disappointed HN downvotes it.
Actually I agree with you, HN seems to have the tendancy to defend the status quo. That really is not what the issue here is though, you are just off topic.
