It's going to be akin to death by cummulative poisoning.

Agree and despite what it may seem like it really is gradual right now. What people are avoiding (god the C level discussions I have been witness to is mindblowing) is the long term damage of their choices today.

The amount of times I have heard executive talks with "you know we both have kids around the same age what do you see this doing?" And they always wrap it with something positive. These fuckers most likely have their kids in private schools, not to mention their kids have all the connections these fucking parents can afford them.

In short the execs making the decisions have their heads equally shoved so far up their own asses they are ignoring the problems on the horizon.
