June 5 Marks CEO Retirements — June 5 has certainly been interesting in the world of business. Two politically active anti-Trump billionaire CEOs picked today to announce their retirements. David Koch is stepping down from Koch Industries and the open-border activist group Americans for Prosperity Foundation, and totally woke Howard Schultz is quitting Starbucks.
It’s a coincidence worth nothing.
Koch has health problems. Schultz is young, healthy, and likely to enter politics. In a way, he would be a candidate like Trump-an outsider, not a career politician or member of the bi-coastal elites.
