I'm assuming you haven't worked in IT in a big company...

LOL. No. Only the federal government. If anything in my area of responsibility wasn't immediately stable and totally bug free within half a day there would have been hell to pay. Never happened, though.

if you can't change it all, what's wrong with improving what you can?

It depends. As I have tried to explain, it depends on the problem. Doing some of your laundry is better than doing no laundry. Killing some of the roaches is a waste of effort. The trick is having the insight to tell which is which.

2 mpg more might save money on gas, cause less pollution etc. So the gains are small but they are gains (at a cost of course but you can weigh the real gains vs. the costs rather than wonder if there is any gains.

Getting rid of 2% of the guns is likely to result in no gain. Its harder to disarm the criminals than it is to disarm regular law abiding citizens. Getting rid of that 2% might not make any difference or it might even be counter-productive.
