Yesterday at the airport I watched the exact same scene play out every 20 seconds. ⠀ Passengers loaded with hea vy suitcases stepped straight onto the escalator directly underneath a sign prohibiting luggage. ⠀ Every single traveler ignored it completely. ⠀ Honestly I get them.

Late one evening, the quiet of my office was suddenly broken. The CEO appeared at my door, looking visibly troubled. "Come with me, I need you," he said in a tone that left no room for questions. He led me straight to the production floor, where a tense crowd had gathered around our most complex, high-pressure gas machine.
