    I don’t know, I’m starting to get the sneaking suspicion that “good” and “profitable” aren’t synonyms. It’s almost as if there is often a financial incentive to make things worse…

      I’m starting to get the sneaking suspicion that “good” and “profitable” aren’t synonyms.

      They’re polar opposites.

      Maybe one day there will be politicians with the balls to actually do something about it.
