The MBAs work in the interests of the C-suite. It's their stat-padding that's made Daniel Ek a billionnaire despite running losses for 99% of the time he's led the company.

And the C-suite works for the shareholders. And the shareholders exploit the current economical system etc.

Most problems which keep cropping up are systemic. Learn about the system that produces the problem to find the root cause. Put the crowbar there.
