    Several years ago there was a story about a very successful ice cream maker who believed that schools should be run like businesses in order to be successful. He was asked what he does when he gets a bad batch of blueberries and he replied that he sends them back. Public schools, DMV, social security office, etc. don’t get to choose their blueberries - for better or worse they work with whatever comes through the door. Most of us are pretty socially insulated. DMV pops the bubble. I think that would be a stressful job.

      I never understood this mindset. Why would you want things like schools or the DMV to give customers the worst quality product at the highest price possible like a business would?
