What you described is mismanagement. Just because he benefits from it doesn’t make it good management.

Fair.

I’d rather have a few months of major discomfort than the two days of hard-core body horror that they just went through.

A realistic version would be pretty boring. That’s basically the same as just working for the CDC.

Don’t even need that much; just stop eating them.

You’re assuming they didn’t help bring this about in the first place.

Is it? It’s hard to tell anymore.
