Any company with a MBA at the helm always seem to make poor choices. Look at the all the companies that have started switching back to engineers for leadership they've started making comebacks.

And I don't mean to imply that spez (what's his name, Huffman?) and Musk are MBAs. That's why I added, or at least the MBA way of thinking. They definitely believe that expenses are a problem, rather than, you know, the flip side of revenues.

This isn't to say that you shouldn't make a business more efficient, but rather, you have to understand what's actually inefficient. You only get that understanding from being in the thick of it, not gazing from afar with spreadsheets and reports.
