I know one person who does this for real estate developers. He gets involved in contentious projects early on, goes to community meetings, offers testimony before the city council, etc. When construction gets going and people inevitably get pissed about some aspect of the project, he gets publicly fired to deflect the blame while the project moves on. Have seen it happen on three different projects in two cities now and, somehow, nobody catches on.
- codeisawesome 10y agoI don't know how to describe this in a single word or phrase appropriately, but I think it is a "genius problem" to exist. Not a genius solution. I feel that the problem itself is impressive and rich in layers of human nature, local culture etc - but once you have such a problem any average person could come up with a similar solution, because it is obvious. It's still mind blowing and very amusing that this is a thing in our world!
