Of course, because most people in the C-Suite are just fundamentally bad people, and because capitalism is a fundamentally corrupt way to organize society, they will take what is a slight amelioration (not being tied to quarterly earnings) and turn it into some corrupt and awful lack of transparency.

There is no reform of this garbage system.

Only revolution.
