0/ A Redditor digs into the career of AMC's CEO Adam Aron @CEOAdam, who has an impressive track record of turning companies around (it's also a hysterically-written business bio).

Found a great Reddit thread: "What's a rule that was implemented somewhere that massively backfired?"
Here are the best ones 🧵
1/ Alcohol bans at college football games led to increased intoxication problems because fans were getting really drunk before entering the stadium.
2/ "English law in Wales set the death penalty for stealing a sheep. Welshmen caught stealing sheep would claim to be making love to them.
They would get a lesser penalty for beastiality. The consequence of this is Welshmen gained a reputation as 'sheep shaggers'."
3/ In Soviet Russia, steel producers were rewarded by the total weight output of the factory.
This led to production of oversized and un-usable strips of steels. End users had no choice but to take the impractical strip sizes and machine them down, thus wasting steel.
