If every company president, chair of the board, CEO, or indeed whole top management teams were to disappear tomorrow, the next day everything would go on as normal. Some extra meetings might have to be held to redistribute responsibilities, but in many cases nobody would even notice the difference.

Whereas if every working person at the bottom of the pay scale were to disappear tomorrow, the entire world would stop: industries would crash, people would starve.

We don't need them. They need us.
