On the other hand, these debates seem quite one sided. The boards of these companies aren't firing their CEOs. Why aren't any of the op-ed authors curious enough to ask about this? This author literally links to another one of his own op-eds in order to dismiss any such arguments about whether or not this is pertinent! They've clearly already made up their minds on this point.
Or is the real point not to have a debate, but to get people riled up and indignant about something that will always have bad optics (even when it's necessary)?
