TOOTS OPLE
I LOVE watching “Shark Tank”. It’s an American reality TV show where real-life billionaires like Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, get to grill entrepreneurs seeking investments in their companies. In that show, any entrepreneur that appears before the “Sharks” without knowing their profit margins, customer acquisition costs, sales projections and other numbers, get skewered before millions of viewers. I wish we could do the same for bureaucrats who seek higher budgets each year without investing enough in research in order to know the needs and size of their respective constituencies.
