The movement to run the government as a business is at the heart of a lot of these problems. Governments have a different risk model than a for profit business. For profit businessEs can’t in any way financially justify to it’s stock holders the spending of money to protect against something that might never happen. I ran DR & BC for a very large global firm, I reported to the Board, and I can tell you these people thought I was insane, even to protect against things like fires. “When was the last time you heard of a large office building having a major fire with more than a couple of casualties?” This was actually said to me when I was proposing to improve the company’s fire protection system. I got out voted and they “ saved” the money. They still haven’t had a fire, so as far as they are concerned I was stupid. Electric companies are necessary so they know if something does go horribly wrong they get bailed out.
