Abuse of Power is a Waste of Resources

Another glorious run in shorts today!

Went for a 6.29 miles today - my regular workout distance at a decent pace.

Listened to two podcasts about Governor Cuomo:

The Daily: The Ruthless Rise and Lonely Decline of Andrew Cuomo

The Ezra Klein Show: Andrew Cuomo and the Performance of Power

A big take-away was the waste of time spent, among other things, on currying favor in offices or between powerful people, or creating workplace cultures of any sort that focus most of their energies on things that are not the work-task.

How much better could society get if we were to focus on qualifications for doing the job and then on getting the work done?

Mind-boggling.

Meanwhile, here are the geekier running details:

I use iSmoothRun for tracking on an iPhone and linked to an Apple Watch. iSmoothrun allows me to customize a workout better than most apps I have used.

Fuller stats found at Smashrun here.

Also here I am at Strava here.

I follow and connect via both platforms, but more on Strava.

Some details for the run:
