I didn’t downvote. Other people read these things too. But yes, you’re understanding correctly. Companies chase increased profit by allocating more resources to sales and marketing, but they fail to recognize that they have to be ready to scale and reward the rest of the company accordingly. But since that eats into profits, they do everything they can to avoid it.

That’s how you end up with sales teams with huge commissions and limitless budgets, while the operations and customer service teams that are supposed to actually deliver the product work on table-scraps. It might deliver profit for a while, but eventually the quality of the product and service will decline because they continue trying to trim every last cent out of those “cost centers” that are actually the lifeblood of the company.

They give a bunch of departments the same mission of controlling costs and maximizing profit, then can’t figure out why their organization is a dysfunctional mess. Each department ends up cutting resources that serve other ones in efforts to boost their own numbers. The most profitable ones get all the resources thrown at them, and everyone else is supposed to do more with less.

If either destination has another airport, I would 1000% be checking those flight times.

They probably focus a majority of their efforts on preserving and maintaining what is already uncovered, and keeping it safe for tourists to visit. Techniques and tools continue to advance too. Wouldn’t be surprised if they learned about these drainages through sonar or LiDAR.

I think running full Photoshop (and other media editing) on an accurate, pressure sensing display will appeal to a lot of creative pros (many already love the pencil for the iPad). We’re also seeing the first generation of kids raised on tablets start to hit adulthood. Old people and others will have their own interest in it. I think it’s something that has been long-awaited.
