In government, we called it the wobbly wheel theory. So Congress passes some appropriations bill. It gets sent over to OPM. You have to do this job. You have two years to do it. And OPM, Office of Personal Management, who does the hiring and firing for the government, says, okay, well, based on our research, we need two people to do that job. It's like, all right, cool. You hire two people.

One of them sucks. So instead of firing that person, which becomes notoriously difficult after their two-year probationary period, which is why Trump is dumping all these probationary period people, then they just hire two more people to do the job. Now you've got four people doing the job of two people. That's government in a nutshell. That's how it works, and it's fucking stupid.

Well, accountability is what really matters, right? And when I say accountability, I mean down to the individual level. Fucking Andy, here are things that you need to get done and you're responsible for them. If you need help, ask for help. But you're responsible for getting this across the finish line. Do whatever you got to do to make that happen.

So I can come back to you as one man and say, hey, did you get it done? And the answer is either yes or no. Right. And if you diffuse responsibility, then nobody's ever responsible for shit. Right. And that is a complete disaster. No matter what it is, if it's like a military operation or a business or the government running itself, no matter where you see that, it's nonsense.

Somebody has to be accountable.

I mean, that's like, especially, this is the problem with most startups. They get money from somewhere and instead of learning lessons, they buy their way out of stupid situations and they end up four, five, six years down the road and they're looking at an exit sale. Yeah. Right. Because you're making good revenue. And I look at your net revenue. I'm like, what is all this bullshit?
