Problem is, what we have *now* is an entire caste of MBAs who've never
touched line-of-business in their lives calling the shots in every
company of meaningful size in at least the entire US (and, I suspect,
across the broader Western business world.)

Between the LinkedIn cult and whatever's in the water supply at "busi-
ness" schools, you might as well schlorp out their gray matter and drop
in a magic 8-ball; they're utterly incapable of rational thought and
have no interest in anything other than cancerous revenue "growth" (and
it's always *revenue* and never mind the actual *profit...*) Not only
can they *not* foresee the ruination of the working classes dragging
their own cushy jobs down with it, when it happens they'll refuse to
connect cause to effect like they do any *other* time their bungling
has consequences down the line...
