    The issue with Jurassic park was that it was run by cheapskates that wanted to get something done fast on a budget without concern for doing it right.

    You sound so young, and idealistic. It’s cute. 😂

    You do know that pretty EVERY company is run by cheapskates that want to get something done fast on a budget without concern for doing it right?

      Every company wants to make a profit. There are those that actually build stuff that works, even if only because having it not work would lose them money. Theres a reason that most planes dont crash for example, and things like Boeing having bad quality control are considered major scandals rather than an unavoidable and unremarkable norm.

        Non-profit, not-for-profit, “lifestyle” companies, and so much more - yeah.

        Even Boeing was an entirely different company before it bought out that other one, then ended up with the CEO of the former, failed business, somehow in charge of the successful one that bought it (due to some kind of sex scandal or something iirc where the CEO of Boeing had to step down so they handed the reigns of power to the other guy). And that transition into the former style did not happen overnight - they moved corporate headquarters away from the engineering facilities, so that the managers would not be “distracted” by trifling concerns like whether the planes can actually fly. It’s a really fucking tragic story, depicting how that other guy basically managed to “fail upwards” and take the entirety of not only one military contracting airline with him, but then it looks like all of Boeing as well. :-( It definitely reveals that there are foundational, fundamental cracks in the system itself, which allowed this to come to pass.

      Clearly they only saw the movie and never read the novel.

      The movie depicts that the park failed; the novel describes why the park failed.
