      It’s wild to me that consumting has become such a massive industry in the last 20 years. It’s all just a bunch of kids freah out of college with zero experience in anything practical telling you to cut costs, raises prices, and do light crime. Why do companies pay millions when the CEO’s dumbass son could have just told them the same thing?

        CYA and possibly liability reasons. “I didn’t make the bad decision, I was following the advice of the consultants.”

        But also there are times you actually do need advice from experts. Not all consultants are bad. But yeah, a lot of it is just CYA stuff.
