A new employee I took a risk on is not panning out. It’s early yet so they have a few more months to gel and get up to speed but early indications are that I made a mistake. I spent a lot of time today covering their job duties and I lost my cool.

• Mistborn
• The Uplift Saga
• The Alex Benedict Series

Counterpoint, capitalism has existed for only a few hundred years and yet hunter gatherer societies by and large faded out a few thousand years ago. I’m not saying there’s a magic bullet solution here and/or we should revert to feudalism. But you didn’t make the point you thought you were making.
