High-level corporate behavior makes more sense when you understand that a high-level exec often does not care about ensuring future success. They care about what makes their numbers good this quarter.
Few execs plant seeds that will take 5 years to grow. They'll be gone by then.

I was thinking about this the other day and there were *so many* things I had sorta memory holed. remember the airport pileup? "I like the numbers being where they are"? the big campaign rally in March? UV and bleach? him taking hydroxychloroquine? “If we didn’t do testing, we’d have no cases”?
a point i made a few weeks ago and a point i will make again is that the mulligan trump gets for covid makes absolutely no sense. an acute crisis like a pandemic is, as lord businessman notes, the whole reason we have a singular executive! the fact that he fucked up should be dispositive!
Trump's COVID response is sufficient to never allow him to be President again, which gets clouded over by 1/6 and with some good reason I think, but remains a deception and fraud on the American people that willfully got many, many people killed to goose his re-elect odds

In Judaism we talk about “disagreements for the sake of heaven.”
In the Talmud, when matters of Jewish law can’t be resolved on the page, there’s a cute acronym that’s basically, “someday Elijah the prophet will show up and tell us who won but until then 🤷”
Not all disagreements are bad or wrong.
