“When the people begin to elect leaders whose #1 priority is robbing the treasury, the city is doomed.”
That is not the case in Memphis.
Memphis was doomed when the blacks took over all elements
of the government.
Likewise the software infrastructure in a company or agency is doomed when Indian-born Hindus (that is, excepting Jains and other minority sects) take over ALL elements of management.
The doom dynamic is the same. Tolerance of failure, poor work and corruption withing the peer group.
