Interesting article. I liked this paragraph:
“I often say that a mathematician thinks in numbers, a lawyer in laws, and an idiot thinks in words. These words don’t amount to anything. I think you have to draw the conclusion that there is a global riot against pseudo-experts. I saw it with Brexit, and Nigel Farage [leader of the U.K. Independence Party], who was a trader for 15 years, said the problem with the government was that none of them had ever had a proper job. Being a bureaucrat is not a proper job. “
Not bad. Not bad at all.
agreed
I always say that every politician should come to my little enterprise and simply do two things
1) Do the weekly check run 3 times, decide which supplier gets paid when and which raw materials to bring in & when
2) Make payroll 2 times, sweat making payroll
They’d be utterly shocked at how tough decision making can really be with limited resources.
I thought this was a brilliant, concise summary:
“Many smaller units of governance, and a collection of super islands with some separation, quick decision-making, and visible implementation.”
He packs a lot in there...and it’s all important. Every word.
