Wonderful analogy, Shanley, and a very masterful piece of writing. You beautifully summarized the rot not only at management, but at the vendors that allow that rot to perpetuate and grow. The most egregious of those is the highly partisan, morally bankrupt, and utterly illegitimate majority at SCOTUS. They've proven time and again that idealogy means more than serving all people, and history will be very harsh on this iteration. A close second is the spineless, oleaginous, and utterly devoid of empathy majority in Congress. Their own constituents are in increasing revolt, but yet the majority still prefers licking the boot rather than actually representing the people that elected them. It's why they no longer hold town halls, among other things. I never imagined that we'd be at anything like this as a country, yet here we are. What a sad, pitiful time this is.
Inspired article! Dang, you nailed today's depressing news, tied it all up in an analogy that anyone who has ever traveled on a shoestring (and hopefully those who haven't) will instantly relate to.

Well done. Thank you.
Shanley, as usual you nailed it. Oh how I appreciate your writing and viewpoint. Thanks!
