Is America a well oiled machine or is it a series of mouse traps and no one really understands why it's still around? (lemmy.world)

Bro I don't know how to break this to you but all human made systems (companies, govt, etc.) are essentially just spaghetti and marshmallow towers with varying degrees of structural stability. They're entirely made of people who know their specific role and only their role.

There are no monolithic, perfect, "well oiled machine" human systems. Not the CCP, not the EU, not Apple, nor Amazon. They're all composed of the same idiots trying their best (I'm in this picture and so are you).

So to answer your question, it's a series of mousetraps, just like everything else. 😁
