Morris wasn't in charge of the companies that are propping up the US GDP, wasn't making tons of rich people even richer, and hadn't "promised" to eliminate like 50->90% of all payroll costs everywhere?

Other than that, it's the same thing.

The operator is the CEO because they are the ones that decided to not pay employees to monitor these running services. No one else in the entire company has any authority.
