Crisis....again

I am part of the second group of people who think that there is a crisis and that we should do something about it (the first one, unless you already know, think the crisis is an artificial social and media construct and just ignoring it will make it go away). As such, I think, not as leisurely as I would like, about how to best coordinate the business that I run to keep it afloat and possibly profitable. Obviously having next to no managerial experience in times of crisis I might not always make the best decisions, but as it stands, I cannot afford to take on a consultant, do not have financial analysts to shower me with figures and have found no books on crises such as this one, to get inspiration from.
A while ago I met with an excellent friend of mine who works for the World Bank. I assumed he would be rather busy at this time of the year, what with the WB being asked in to advise on the crisis or provide funding or such. Well, no. he tells me there has been no attempt from the governing bodies to involve foreign institutions at all in dealing with this even though attempts have been made on the part of the WB to offer assistance. So I think of the people running this country, who are probably just like me – without experience, without the books, but who, by contrast, can benefit from the expertise of an institution who might know something more. And I ask myself why they don’t.
It is painfully obvious that this country is not going the right way for two reasons: thievery and stupidity. A lot of people do bad to get rich but more people do bad because they don’t know what to do and are afraid to ask (witness the recent Snake Island debacle – I mean, it’s crystal clear that someone was stealing but someone was really dumb). At this point it’s seriously fucked up to be stealing unless you’re starved but even more so to miss a good solution standing right in front of you.
