MBAs and IT

Having MBAs in charge of IT at every level is one of the stupidest business decisions that can be made, yet it’s consistently done.

It doesn’t rein in costs, which is the intent. It probably raises them.

Yet it’s the default.

IT obviously needs business oversight. But the way it’s done it hurts the business more than helps it.

How many times could I have spent $10,000 to save a million later in my IT career? A dozen? More?

But was shot down my some MBA.

And sometimes the savings would be in weeks or months, not the long term.

But it’s impossible!

Actual ACA increases by large insurers.

Looks like so far it’s all double digits. This was predictable. Despite the penalties, those most likely to sign up for Obamacare are those already sick or unhealthy.

This means it’ll have a terrible risk pool.

Basically the ACA did nothing to fix the health care system, but instead applied a band-aid over a gaping wound while Democrats went around explaining how everything was all better and that blood coming out and pooling on the floor? All imaginary!

Obamacare was designed to funnel money to insurers. But it appears that for the most part it isn’t even doing that.

Shit, it can’t even do evil right.
