“Maybe after the Marathon catastrophe they will learn-”, no, they won’t. They didn’t after Concord, this isn’t different.

Because with just one success they pull out, the profits, in their eyes, will be infinite, everlasting even…

Let’s not forget that these guys are mad ludopaths at a fundamental level.

Kinda obvious, I know, but is good to remember.

    There’s also that whole thing about people getting promoted to management positions without actually learning how to manage anything. Failing upward, I think it’s called? So they might have been good at the lower level position they were in and then get promoted to a position they have no idea what they are doing in.

    I’ve had so many jobs tell me they hired me to eventually become a manager, and then never actually show me how to manage shit. Just because I am good at cleaning toilets doesn’t mean I can manage a team of janitors.

      Oh yeah that’s the Peter principle I think. Or closely related.

      Someone is good at job A, so they promoted to B. They’re good at B, so they get promoted to C. They’re kind of bad at C, so they stay there.

      Over time, all roles fill up with people who are kind of bad.
