"When was the last time you went to the grocery store and were told the shelves were empty because the CEO was feuding with the stockholders? Never. And if it happened, the company would cease to exist. That means the CEO is out of a job, and the stockholders just lost their investment. And it all happened because they were not serving their customers. Now government agencies cannot serve their 'customers' because of a feuding executive and legislature. What happens to them? Clearly, these organizations should cease to exist. Clear out the dead wood, and allow new growth, just as the market does naturally."
