Gotta fire everyone, or else "too many cooks" will mean that even those temporary productivity gains go up in smoke.

Remember sometimes the most productive thing to have is not money or people but time with your ideas.

What's so sad to see is people excited about making something selling away the time they would have with their ideas. They're paying money to not use their brain to contemplate the thing they should be the foremost expert in the world on, and they're excited to be paying more and more for each modicum of ignorance and mediocrity dispensed.
