Another perfect example of corruption when the purpose of a business is profits - not the product. Medallion brokers only did what is taught and encouraged in business schools.

Honest businessmen always make sure their counter-party is also prospering. That is the purpose of every business transaction. Both parties prosper. Business school graduates (ie Trump) and their disciples must deny this.

And what about bean counters?

How do they fit into the problem?

The bean counters only predict or tally results, and report back to the people calling the shots.
Private equity has dismantled more businesses, put more people out of work, than any other threat.

The population is ageing and they are the mean bastards who survived so watch out.

Too many beans remain to count. Because Trump has subverted exports. Just another example of a business school graduate screwing everything up for self-serving reasons.

The three true outcomes strike out, walk, or homerun game that has developed is boring as hell. It was really bad for the Yankees because their hitting instructors are over selling launch angle. Fortunately everyone got hurt so they have a better mix of batting styles.

How does that explain the increase in strike outs?

They are looking to drive the ball out of the park rather than put it in play. Apparently statistics favor this approach but it’s a crushingly boring style of play.
