We always seem to live in a world where it takes front page news like this to put into effect genuine reform, reform that slams the door in the face of entrenched interests.<p>This seems to be just one of those things, but it reminds me of (most&#x2F;all) companies I have worked at, where action across the company is really only determined by the next pressing crisis - actual plans are laughed at as everyone know how things really are.<p>But it does not have to be like this.
