I just finished a flurry of contract signing — my mother’s house is thiiiis close to being sold. We have a final hurdle of getting the lender’s approval, but my agent says there’s only like a 10% chance that they might have an objection. I’ll be surprised if all the dotted lines are signed by the new year, but otherwise, everything is imminent.
Also, this is Seattle.
Someone hacked the traffic signs. Keep it up, you weird radicals!
This is utterly contemptible and the instigators should hang their heads in shame.
It’s “One fewer CEO”.
Wouldn’t fit. The sign display is only 8 characters wide.
Isn’t POTUS technically the head of the executive branch of government?
(What do we call the head of the executive branch, again?)
Rich@1- My first thought to.
Wait….
Spot on. I realize it is in bad taste, but it is quality humor.
This is just another example of why so many Seattle-company CEOs leave town, and even the companies do. Boeing left; Bezos left; Gates mostly left…
This is not, of course, true. CEO is a job, not an innate characteristic. You just appoint someone else to the position.
Bekenstein Bound @ # 2: The sign display is only 8 characters wide.
Ergo:
Wondered to myself “how much does one of these programmable signs cost if I wanted to deploy it for laughs rather than hacking someone else’s?”
Turns out they’re quite pricey.
@9– i bet there’s an arduino project some where online that can be put together on the cheap
@10 – I was thinking the very same thing!

Silentbob @7 – on the other hand, if enough of them are popped off, nobody will want the job.
Jim, on the gripping hand, if each popper-offer gets nabbed and their life ruined, not too many will want the job.
One ceo fewer?
submoron@17- That is the correct word order.
@ Matt G, # 18: Yes, but it’s grammatically awkward.
An interesting Grauniad article on Luigi Mangioni’s politics: all over the place in left/right or science/anti-science terms, but the writer claims he exemplifies a widespread “anti-system” orientation.

If people really want to take out CEOs, they need to study the tactics of Germany’s Red Army Faction, who took out the CEO of DeutscheBank in spectacular fashion and got away with it: https://www.wired.com/2008/07/the-assassinati/
tedw, and DeutscheBank has been a good corporate citizen ever since. Right?
