In business it's not about achieving your goals fastest, it's about not being the slowest. Just like running from a lion. This is why these businesses survive.

In business it's not about achieving your goals fastest, it's about not being the slowest. Just like running from a lion. This is why these businesses survive. This is a common misunderstanding about market economies vs communism btw. In market economies there's a floor to the incompetence. In communism there is none. The ceiling isn't really different, but since there's a floor in one you will get a natural average higher in market economies. Pro-market people get this wrong all the time.
