Economic dags’
Too many organisations have inbuilt ecosystems of people built around waste and inefficiency, people with mouths to feed and bills to pay, people whose self interest is served by perpetuating the waste and inefficiency, or just simply by perpetuating the problem they’re their to solve.
The incumbent ecosystem will rise up when challenged and seek to prevent the eradication of the waste and inefficiency because their comfortable livelihoods rely on the status quo being maintained.
These people are the incumbent economic freeloaders and hangers on, these people are the economic dags.
