Goodness yes. When every decision is bounded inside the prison of "will this hurt my chances of reelection" it's tough to do anything that makes sense, is right, goes against the status quo, or is uncomfortable in the present but crucial for the future. Same goes for publicly traded corporations and "growth." It's never good enough to just be good because you always have to deliver growth and a nice dividend in the next quarter so you make decisions that rot the foundation instead of strengthening it and your company off the balance sheets starts to resemble a certain portrait of a certain Dorian Gray. What do we do to show profit growth this quarter? Oh- let's cut benefits again. Doesn't matter that 5yrs from now these investments we're making will show a return- I need to show profit NOW...
Yet that is NOWHERE as bad as things are going in my country.
The sempiternal problem of "now" vs. "future" applies to oh so many areas. I can't count the amount of times I got into arguments at the Green Mud Bank because I was the only one aware that the savings of putting something into production as fast as possible would imply decades of massive spending in future maintenance.raoulduke-esq wrote: ↑29 May 2021, 16:04…Doesn't matter that 5yrs from now these investments we're making will show a return- I need to show profit NOW...
