Exactly. The nepobaby retards who took over all these companies are mimicking the strategies of the past but getting all the most important parts of them wrong. They understand the "scattershot" strategy but don't get that it only works if every shot is disposable.Shovelware is only sustainable because the costs of development are so low that it makes barraging the marketplace with slop a viable tactic.
Scaling up to multimillion dollar expenditures strikes me as very poor risk management.
I think the "braindead nepobaby" problem is currently at crisis-level in most industries. Did you see that idiot McDonalds CEO who tried to make a fake "authentic" video eating a burger but didn't even know how to hold it? Couldn't even stomach it enough to pretend to enjoy it convincingly, took the smallest bite known to man, and refereed to the burger exclusively as a "product" like it was some cold, machine-pressed piece of metal instead of food.
Someone pointed out to me that he's been the CEO since 2019, and I realized that was right around the time they started raising prices and lowering the quality, and now sales have tanked by over 25%. This is the fucking idiot responsible for slowly killing what everyone thought was an invincible juggernaut of a business. He didn't even earn his place organically, he was chosen in haste because the last guy was a sexual predator. He was given the keys to the epitome of capitalistic domination and sucked so fucking much he actually managed to lose them money and fail upwards.
McDonalds has the simplest and most effective strategy a business can have: "Sell cheap food in a way that's convenient and fast." A business strategy that has weathered multiple recessions and wars, because if everyone can still buy your product when they're broke, you always make money.
and this stiff, robotic, bubble baby airhead gets in and decides to do the exact opposite. He decides when times are tough, they should raise prices to "make up for demand" - the demand he's fucking killing. When broke niggas are begging for the dollar menu to return, he recreates the fucking Arch Deluxe, a "product" that was infamous for being way too expensive and pretentious for the chain that cost them over $100 million dollars. Becuase nobody goes to McDonalds for "premium" food.
It might sound like I'm just sperging about fast food like a fat kid whose mom forced him to eat steamed vegetables for a week, but there's a deeper meaning behind my rambling: McDonalds is the platonic ideal of a successful American megacorporation, and the way it's being mishandled by a fucking retard is, I believe, the perfect microcosm of the corporate rot infesting and destroying major companies all across the country.
Take one look at this motherfucker and just try to tell me he isn't a sheltered, spoiled rich kid from a rich family that paid his way through prep school and college. Tell me he's had a human interaction in the past 20 years that wasn't in a heavily controlled setting where a principal or a team of HR Karens can swoop in at the slightest hint of discomfort and shut everything down. Go ahead. Tell me this motherfucker doesn't live in a neighborhood where you have to pass through three security checkpoints just to pull into the driveway. Tell me this nigga doesn't subside solely of a diet of coconut water, kale salad and whatever trendy fad diet meals get delivered from his overpriced subscription service. Tell me he's lived a single day in the real world around real people.
Because he's certainly never eaten a fucking burger before.
He's not a one-off. He's the Xerox-printed archetype that Wall-street and Silicone Valley have bred like cattle. This is the exact model of robot they've mass produced and put everywhere, and it's why everything bad about the business world is happening.
