Many of these “business geniuses” do the following:
- buy struggling business cheap
- reduce expenses (biggest expense is always salaries, so fire a lot of people)
- on paper, the business is making money (while the rest of the staff frantically try to survive without enough manpower and with a lot of loss on knowledge and experience)
- sell doomed business before it collapses (remember: on paper, it looks healthy)
A lot of those things are possible, if a bit inconvenient. BUT I am old enough to have lived through the time before GPS and smartphones and navigating without it - especially in an unknown city - is simply terrible.
If you have never experienced having to park your car and walk around, looking for a street name, just to find out where the hell you are… Count yourself lucky.
Listen to an old timer: I never want to go back to that.
Anyone who says otherwise simply doesn’t drive around a lot or only in well known areas.
