Most businessmen shouldn't be running anything, including their own business.

10. That talking point has always disgusted me

"This country should be run like a business!"

What you mean with one guy in charge who has absolute authority, whose only standing agenda is to ensure that he and his shareholders come away fabulously wealthy? You mean that this wealth should be achieved by rapid "downsizing," and vast externalization of costs? That we should engage in cannibalism of competing businesses (i.e., other countries), adding them to our portfolio and using them as low-cost subsidiaries for our own products?

Whenever I hear that claim, all that comes to me is that either the person absolutely fucking hates this country, or they have zero idea how business operates.
