You can't run a corporation like a state and you can't run a state like a corporation. There has to be a middle ground, especially where individuals are concerned. Corps, by their very nature, do what they do for the bottom line. People, assets, and decisions are all made, cut, hired, sold, and acquired based on profitability. Rarely will you find a Corp that side steps some profitability for the concerns and welfare of it's employees. They'll do what they're required to do by law and sometimes they're smart enough to understand that a happy worker, is a profitable worker...but in this day and age...that's an exception, not a rule.
Scott's number one priority as a CEO is to trim the fat, which in this case are the people he represents as Gov. A Govs. number one priority is to the well being of the people of the state AND to the states economy. Not an easy task, but you can't go all exclusively robocop crazy in one direction and ignore the other. You can't fire your residents, as much as you may want to, you just can't. Shore things up, tidy up loose ends or unnecessary budget hogs, but you ALWAYS have to be mindful of the people you represent in the process. Does this or that harm a large portion of people and if so, how does it harm them? Does it benefit many or a few...and if it benefits few...will doing so actually benefit more later in a positive manner (economically or otherwise) or does it just continue to benefit the few.
Scott is in straight up CEO mode, get ready for fun times.
I can't wait for the people who elected him, to have to live in the shit world of that choice. Of course they all live in the 'it will never affect me' land of unicorns and gumdrops now.. but the one thing I've learned is Karma is a bitch that comes around and around and around again when you least expect it..
and the irony part, these will be the 1st people complaining when one red cent of
theirs is taken/given away.. but sadly by that time, they will have allowed the disintegration of any type of help from the watchdogs that are usually around to stop this madness...
