I always wonder what happens to institutional knowledge in American companies.

Picture a space station where there's an error when trying to seal the door and they proceed anyway and it explodes from the pressure differential as all the air escapes out to space.
This is literally a scene from Interstellar

what institutional knowledge exactly? all they know is politics and intrigues. zero useful knowledge there

anything thats useful is documented. If its not documented, there will be incident/outage and it will be documented later as a lesson

You're expecting the country that's all-in on anti-vaxxing, climate catastrophe denial, and the disassembly of democracy to understand what institutional knowledge is?
Them capital class is all in on those things and owns all the media. But the majority of us are not.
