Flogging a dead horse

I recall a morbid joke from my elementary school ages:

Father: Hey son, put your grandma near the window please!

Son: But dad, she’s been dead for over two months now!

Father: I don’t care. Just put her there, get outside and get the pension from the mailman!

Try to skip the morbid part and analyze a little bit. Like grandma from the joke there are a lot of dead but unburied businesses, both private and governmental. But in a strange, maybe wrong and probably unhealthy way they feed some people.

People are intrigued when they see leaders just keep whiping dead businesses.

But people make a living from those dead businesses. They keep telling themselves that the situation of the business is neither their fault nor their responsibility. It’s very hard to evaluate and judge those situations.

Businesses are made by people but are not people. Businesses have a resurrection option, they can re-invent themselves with an honest contribution from the people that send them to death or should be buried and make room for the next business opportunity.

Tough call when we are talking about a million people business.
