We Are Staunchly in Favor of CEOs Having Dangerous Hobbies

We Are Staunchly in Favor of CEOs Having Dangerous HobbiesThe Wall Street Journal today takes on a thorny question that's wracking the collective consciences of corporate boards from coast to coast: when does a CEO's private hobby become too dangerous? As natural leaders driven to excel and seek thrills in both their private lives and their careers, it's no wonder that many CEOs enjoy flying their own small planes, or even sky diving. Considering the responsibilities they have to their employees and shareholders, should CEOs of huge public corporation really be allowed to engage in risky behavior that holds a chance of serious injury or death?

Fuck yes. Should be mandatory for everyone in the top tax bracket, in fact. One word, CEOs: wingsuiting. Don't be pussies.
