There's no need for condolences, it's not personal. Business is churn and crisis. If you've never seen it yourself, it's only that it hasn't occurred to you -yet-. It's in the news every day with reports like Tesla lays off thousands to cut costs while board gives CEO $50 billion payout. I do not see this as explainable through any idea of incompetence. It's about some wiley edge of control over profits. It's not contradictory that firms depend on skilled labor but are incapable of producing the conditions for constructing the needed labor force. Business has a long track record of enslaving labor and prefers to wreck labor as a force. Even at business's very best, it's widely understood that business / community partnerships are required to meet needs, where the community funds the training from which business cherry picks "talent" and while negotiating tax breaks that get passed on to investors executives. This can't be explained as incompetence, it's explained through organized contention between specific vested corporate interests and the broader community who bears the costs of cultivating the labor force. It's a story of business competency that led to Michael Moore to write about his stories about Flint Michigan, which became emblematic of US corporate culture. Within corporate enclaves you can always find a small population who have never endured the ongoing existential crisis which is business churn: People for whom the crisis of labor hasn't occurred... yet. For the special few who get to the grave in business having never seen any pathos... Is this good luck or a curse? There's no shortage of evidence! Look around your community and the commons, do you see decay? Is it explainable through "competence" or "incompetence?" It seems some other language is needed to explain what we see.
