As a professional web developer, I can assure you that businesses
operating as you describe FAIL. Your response has demonstrated that you
are incapable of understanding how governance works, and that you have
probably never been involved in such decisions in business, or in politics.
I reply merely to express my concern that anyone might take your opinion
seriously as you have no basic framework for how the world works upon
which I can engage you in intellectual discourse.
