False. In fact, labor unions (which are a 1920-30 phenomenom) are a reason for the high cost of cars today. Thus, 60 and 70 years ago events took place that affect how things work today. If you are ignorant enough to think that something that happened on a large scale 30 years ago is irrelevant today, you have lost the lesson of history. In fact, this is one case where management was inefficient but the labor WAS efficient, as we now have a glut of SUV's and poor planning on management's part.
You are barely catching up. This isn't about Mercedes becoming more efficient over time. The point was that heavier cars use more fuel.
I see you think all things work perfectly. If such a person were promoted into an already functioning management, exactly what position would they take that would make the management more efficient? Perhaps the reason such a person is not promoted is that the management is already working well, and no room to promote exists. Need I remind you that efficient management takes stock of all possibilities, such as who gets sacked in order to promote the kid at the coffee machine?
