@BillAckman@X I was going to suggest your penultimate paragraph before I read it. God bless you.
We owners of businesses owe our communities and country to do what is right and pay what we must to stop what you call The System from exploiting businesses, even if we lose money doing so!
@Rixhabh__@thetripathi58 You might get efficiency if all the flows around you and your company momentarily calm down but Eli was about effectiveness. Almost always there is plenty of inefficiency and it makes you lots more money.
@LivermanTo79253@MatznerJon If you have plenty of capacity and provide great service, your constraint is “in the market” - you just need orders. This is exactly where you want it to be. Solving them only makes sense when the constraint doesn’t.
@peter_smb@MatznerJon The constraint may not be strategic. If not, you give it support until it has enough capacity to stop being the one thing that holds you back the most. At that point, work will build up waiting for the constraint. If work is building up all over. You are working on too much.
@kaiarhodes@ArthurLHerman The Goal literally changed my life. Then, I met Eli Goldratt. Then, I met his son Rami. Then, I met his daughter Efrat. Not to mention many others. I thank them all!
@VDHanson Companies pay to train new skilled workers. Many of these previously exported skilled jobs now pay more than doctors and lawyers earn. Universities inflate their tuitions by 10 to 15% per year while delivering less educational value. Ignore them!
@VDHanson It’s not just Harvard. Even before this latest stand, the value of colleges outweighs the loss of four years, except for the richest Americans for whom the cost is negligible and those studying for specific skilled jobs like doctors and lawyers.
