I remember this story but I can't remember the specifics and my queries to google have maximum SEO keywords. So if someone remembers and can fill in my blanks please and thank you.
There was this CEO who was brought onto a failing US retail company. His big idea to save the company was to foster internal competition. His logic was if the free market was the most efficient way to structure a society then doing that internally in a company would make it more efficient. The company cratered for entirely predictable reasons.
Who was the CEO who was the company? Am I completely making this up?
Really??? Wow, he really was a dipshit then.
Literally all he would have had to do was not lie about it and do alternative medicine shit for five years and just get the damn transplant after the Whipple procedure didn't work, but also the only reason the Whipple didn't work is because he spent like 9 months doing the exact same alternative medicine shit instead.
Dude literally spent 9 months doing fake shit before giving in and getting the surgery because the woowoo didn't do anything. Then when the surgery failed because of the woowoo, he spent another 5 years doing the exact same shit before giving up and getting a transplant and then decided to do the exact same woowoo again instead of the post-operative treatments and died.
Dude just hated not dying from a form of cancer with a higher survival rate than being in a car.
See I knew it wasn't the "you're dead" pancreatic cancer, but I didn't know the survival rate and assumed it was like 50/50. That's fucking wild... so glad we have these brain geniuses ruling over us as God kings.
