I would disagree.

The willingness to change is there, it's mostly the motives and what is being targeted where the problems are.

We as a country lost our balls.

Decisions are increasingly made on an emotional basis, and the poster child for this has been the politically calculated exit of nuclear power based on the Fukushima accident to gain an election win.

Most of senior management is trying to act like suddenly they are some cool nimble startup CEO that can burn through cash until the subscription fees for lane keeping assists and heated seats are paying the bills.

It's all buzzwords being thrown around without anyone really caring for reality.

Just looking at how the "dress code" changed over the last 10 years in automotive is funny by itself.

Hefty statements, zero backing and ever shrinking balls.

The bill is going to be huge.

I somehow have the feelings that you two actually agree quite a lot. Because there are two populations there: one who'd be able and willing to change, and the other busy to protect their own accounts and after me the deluge. It's all which one of these are at the buttons, and I reckon it's the second.
