Business people often assume they know how to do politics. There are no examples of this being true. They try to run a country’s budget like a company budget, which is a stupid thing to do. On top of that I think only rarely is a business person responsible for the success of their own business. It’s much more about luck than management, riding waves of consumer preference. And to top it all off, I don’t even think ‘business’ is a thing, it’s just a name we give to exchanging money with strangers.
