Do you really think police action is fundamentally uncontrollable, like the weather?

What I'm hearing from you is you want someone else to do the work of providing shelter for you without you being required to compensate them. Am I right? If not then maybe you need to do a better job of explaining. Nothing in this universe is free. I know that can be stressful and depressing and I'm sorry you are feeling it strongly right now, but acceptance is one of the first steps to moving forward

No one said "free". Many people said " affordable."

It sucks, but it's not because of some human imposed system. I know it's comforting to blame other people, but ultimately it really is just the way this universe works. Getting past the victim mentality is a huge help in life.

Or you answer to somebody else, which is how perpetually cannabilizing next quarters numbers to appease short term shareholders becomes more important than cost savings and using your labor pool time to solve actual problems. Or when the sales teams bonuses are more important than the margins of the business. There’s lots of reasons the “wrong work” gets pushed down and it’s not exclusively because “they aren’t liste…

If CEOs were actually wrecking their companies in order to get a fake short term boost, they'd be shortly out of business. If a person was sure a CEO was doing that, they'd be making money sho…

It doesn’t wreck the companies though. It just costs more money and tike to accomplish the same task. It’s inefficient.
