Someone conceived in a McDonalds restroom the last time he was its CEO would almost be able to drink legally in most US states now. The US was in the middle of an economic boom in 1997. He does not have a relevant perspective.

I think there's a big difference between "he was CEO 20 years ago" and "he does not have a relevant perspective".

He has at least as relevant a perspective as any commenter here, though of course I believe he has way more relevant experience, having been the CEO of McDonalds. If you think he didn't face anything like these kinds of issues, you're wrong.
