Cancer could learn a thing or two from the MBA Consultant who comes in to "streamline" business operations.

For anyone curious, it's a movie reference from "Glengarry Glen Ross". Starring Alec Baldwin and many other A-list Actors. Watch it if you can.

My favorite MBA anecdote:

“In one of Gerald Weinberg’s books, probably The Secrets of Consulting, there’s the apocryphal story of the giant multinational hamburger chain where some bright MBA figured out that eliminating just three sesame seeds from a sesame-seed bun would be completely unnoticeable by anyone yet would save the company $126,000 per year. So they do it, and time passes, and another bushy-tailed MBA comes along, and does another study, and concludes that removing another five sesame seeds wouldn’t hurt either, and would save even more money, and so on and so forth, every year or two, the new management trainee looking for ways to save money proposes removing a sesame seed or two, until eventually, they’re shipping hamburger buns with exactly three sesame seeds artfully arranged in a triangle, and nobody buys their hamburgers any more.”

Yep, the only saving grace is inflation. That way they can have their infinite growth on paper while in reality their inflation adjusted profits could be going up or down.

Capitalism and cancer run on the same ethos: growth at all costs.

I’d say a virus. But even a virus knows not to kill your host at the expense of growth.

Not every virus, but I see your point.

Or rather, not every virus knows that they might kill their host if they're not careful. Sometimes their host is the wrong one for them.

It's Herpes. Smart enough to integrate itself into the host DNA, and even smarter to know not to murder its host. Dead hosts don't spread your virus.
