Getting a decent bagel is almost impossible...Not because we don't know HOW to make a great bagel but that we no longer CARE to make a great bagel. If you were to call the CEO of Brueggers Bagels, he would tell you that Brueggers SPECIALIZES in making bagels.
OH REALLY???????????????????????
What Brueggers specializes in is SELLING bagels.
Physicians will tell you that they specialize in a particular area and that some group has 'CERTIFIED' them in that kind of surgery. And then when the surgery fails, 5 other surgeons will easily discover what the surgeon did wrong.
Now some among us are quick to blame THE GOVERNMENT for things that go wrong or the economic mess that we are in.
I think that the baker who makes my bagels needs to look in the mirror and ask him or herself why he or she makes a mediocre bagel...And the surgeon needs to do the same thing.
This is NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. It is about doing what we say that we will do.
Is there any hope?
