Most of these blame you for not supporting the Republican candidate, or for not shunning some kind of racial equality scheme, or for not sending all of your money to Jesus via some evangelist.

This one is not quite a parable. More like a satire on American business management. The awful thing is that it's right.

But unfortunately, it is indeed a Dilbert cartoon. In those cartoons, disastrous business decisions have no effect but to trouble people. In the real world, bad business decisions by Ford...or Microsoft or Disney or the other big guys...means lots of workers will lose their jobs, their pensions, their health benefits, their health and ultimately their lives. And so will their spouses and children. Which is why the artist who writes Dilbert (I don't follow the strip and don't care who he is) deserves to be relocated to the flood zone of New Orleans for the rest of his freaking life.
