You should see the companies in charge of the mexican government.

Which government?

I mean, I'm not arguing for private companies, but our government is quite spectacularly inefficient at anything except generating prime ministers! Mind you, they may be trying to be worse than the private sector so they cna claim the private sector is more efficient than the government, I guess...

Typically this is something I hear more commonly within businesses.

Unsurprisingly the business thinks business is the most efficient way to run anything.

Hierarchical institutions inevitably come to be under the control of self-serving scumbags who are really only notable for the fact that they could, would and did do absolutely whatever it took to gain power.

Different sorts of hierarchical institutions - for instance, governments or businesses - exhibit the consequences of being controlled by self-serving scumbags in different ways, and if one looks narrowly, one can make the case that this one is better or worse than another.

But if one pulls back far enough to look at them overall, it's pretty much just six of one and half a dozen of another.

It sort of depends on what the company is doing.

I work for my local government and everybody means well but are hampered by a lack of funding. I complete a statutory required role, that is one of the two key performance indicators and it needs 2 people full time and I'm the only person on it.
