Years ago a bunch of imbeciles, you might call them the smartest men in the room, split part of the business off. Part of the business was a cash cow, the part they split off and prepared for sale, on it's own, was not profitable but a vital part of the business just the same. Management roles were duplicated (making it even more unprofitable). It was then offered for sale, even the stupidest men in the room figured out it was a dog & laughed at the smartest men in the room.
The separate organisation was disbanded & rolled back into the core business. Yet more millions of their customers money blown. You can do what you like when you're a monopoly
the smartest men in the room are still there, wasting millions of their customers money
