Strange how these CEO types are not able to read the room.

So true. Isn't it incredible also that no-one told him it might be a bad idea to replace people in a people focused business? That must be the main problem with surrounding yourself with 'yes, sir' types?

wow, seems he still doesn't get it, maybe he's too wealthy to understand. (this article might actually be satire, i just realized)

exciting, bold proclamations from the techno-king might be really fun for him - but sound awfully different from out here.

In his defense, the people who he pays thought it was just fine, a great idea.
