You mean could re-hiring the guy who has bankrupted multiple times and we fired for utterly failing his duties cause problems for us going forward?
Gee, I don't know. Let me think about that one for a whlie and get back to you.
Meanwhile, let me tell you a story about a stupid group of people called "Americans" who allowed a thing called "propaganda" to make them think a leader who was, in fact, good for the economy was actually horrible because they weren't intelligent enough to grasp that the entire world suffered a pandemic which caused the entire world to suffer from inflation, but that this good leader was actually causing them to suffer less than most of the other parts of their world due to his economic policies. So in the end, these weak-minded Americans with the memory spans of hamsters forgot all about the pain and suffering caused by the failed businessman and assumed that because he had the title of "Businessman" that he must be good with money, so that must make him good at managing a national economy. So these foolish Americans ignored the past, ignored all the available data, and ignored all the warnings from the businessman's ex-associates and top military personnel and made him king of the land once again. And they suffered all over again. And no lessons were learned.
Sad story, huh?
first "Americans" includes a vast number of countries
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_the_Americas_by_population
propaganda was allowed to creep in due to lowered education standards, pollution, militarized police forces, and toxic culture that became toxic because it was hijacked by the same people that own the politicians that make the laws and policies that keep us all in here in the United States trapped a loop not of the citizens' designs
Which of those countries has the word America in their name? Because there's nothing else you can call people from the US. Every other country in the Americas has a different name unrelated to the continents.
And before you try to say it, people are never called by a form of the [Type of government] bit of the "of [Country name]"
