This is a perfect example of the bad Boomer management that has led to our current crisis. Not all, but too many Boomers lead this way, and somehow, I haven't figured it out, they convince themselves that they are actually correct and everyone and everything else is wrong. Its like they are in a fantasy world where if anything goes wrong with THEIR plan, someone else is conspiring to ruin them, someone else is wrong, someone else is incompetent, everything else... It just couldn't possibly be that THEY don't understand what's happening and the complexity of the issues (systems) they're making decisions about.
"...I can't prove it, but I believe that investigations will show that congressmen like Henry Waxman and Barney Frank would have called on the carpet any FBI investigator that interfered with illegal activities in the housing industry, and would have said that any such investigator was racist and sexist. That's why regulators could not prosecute crimes that they knew were being committed; because congressmen like Waxman and Frank, who must also have been aware that crimes were being committed, did not want the crimes prosecuted for political reasons..."
Yes, this is the bad Boomer manager's S.O.P. If it (or anyone) gets in THEIR way, its to be changed or done away with, and everyone else has to deal with the fallout, which they don't see or consider. And as Boomers started taking over in the early to mid '90's, we can rest assured that (where the bad Boomers lead) their organizations have been shaped in such a way as to ENABLE these sociopathic decisions.
In this specific case, once they realize that they are so obviously wrong and can't solve it by bullying, my guess is that they'll try to change the accounting regulations.
They think this way because they are, frankly, just immature. Mentally, they've never grown up and they still act as they did when they were children railing against their parents. They have to have their way or it's just unfair!
We can see this in most Boomers and DEFINITELY in all Lefty Liberals. They can say what they want, but if you don't agree, you're just an unfair, racist, homophobic, radical, Christian idiot that is fomenting violence.
