Oh, what a pipedream. If only capitalism worked how it was described in textbooks. It turns out there are much easier lower cost optimizations businesses can perform based on managing perception rather than worrying about pesky concepts like utility.

You raise an interesting point. Where I work, most of our public status dashboards update to yellow or red automatically, with only a few failure conditions requiring a manual update. It’s always made me wonder whether we’ll ever get around to implementing capitalism with some manual update only dashboards.

Given enough law suits and mistakes by dev flipping dashboards to red with a bad code change or network provider outage and your org will have a manual public facing dashboard as well.

Of course, and such a thing would never take place in a system of economics where there are no consequences for taking accountability for failures. Because I’m sure such a system exists. Right?

I never considered Amazon capitalistic given their exploitation of the USPS.

I considered them this private company subsidized by taxes.
