I'd say that I'm the dummy. Just because I can spend 1 mil on a lawn service, doesn't mean I should.

The question is: Would you take the money and do it yourself? Or would you hire and pay employees to do it for you at extreme salaries?

If you took the money, you'd be a greedy executive. If you hired people and paid them super high salaries for yard work you'd be dumb like me...

Not to pick on you Kyle,

I'm really using this example to show that it's a little more complicated than it appears on the surface. Bottom line is in situations like this, all parties involved are at fault. If you don't want to pay execs big salaries, don't hire expensive execs....
Maybe the wording is wrong. Just because Chrysler's executives can get paid now doesn't mean they should be paid now. They should get their bonuses when they are not about to be acquired, shut down, or bankrupt. Therefore, I post another image of preposterous failure.
