Their previous efforts haven’t done much to push the needle on gun control legislation and without more backing, they don’t know what else they can do at the moment, he said.
Well they could stop giving money to pro gun republicans but you know, taxes.

The social change that happened in the 1960s wasn’t being led primarily by CEOs. Social changes really happened when we saw the interfaith activity of clergy locking arms and canvassing legislators. We saw campuses alive and aroused. Where’s all the student activism?
“CEOs are just one group of people.”
This guy missed the memo that the news is out everyone knows who runs this country.
We don’t want them to be our saviors, we’re just kinda stuck with em.

CEOs are reluctant to be held responsible for anything.
After all, what’s the point of being at the top of the pyramid if you’re going to be held responsible for something unpleasant?
