7. They have no real interest in entrepreneurship.
Their size/inertia, individually and in aggregate, over time, causes entropy and functional responses create silos which protect themselves "for the enterprise(s)" but which also, by their nature, continue to generate entropy. Solutions/entreprenuership are antithetical to these traits. This is what we saw at Sprint before the mass layoffs began in 2000.

This is why I like the Tax Reform proposed by the Progressive Congressional Caucus, because they want to raise the bottom of the top tax brackets, something that would appeal to those making from $373K a year up to some as yet TBD'd max. It seems reasonable that folks in this part of the income spectrum would be more interested in authentic entrepreneurship, justifying a reduction in their tax status that could lead to NEW jobs, than those above them.
