I understand the obsession SI fish have with the short term buck and I understand that many fly-by-night companies take that tack too. Birds of a feather. What I don't understand is why anyone would grant credibility to someone deemed important making claims about government's control over the free market dealing with an assertion that the odds are increased that a poor business decision will be encouraged where BLS shoots itself in the foot with an immature and unproven acquisition. It's naivete.
