this is the kind of thing you use as a metaphor to describe something else:

An Intuitive Machines official said the loss of the range finders stemmed from the company's decision to forgo a test firing of the laser system to save time and money during pre-flight checks of Odysseus at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

"There were certainly things we could've done to test it and actually fire it. They would've been very time-consuming and very costly," Mike Hansen, the company's head of navigation systems, told Reuters in an interview on Saturday. "So that was a risk as a company that we acknowledged and took that risk."

On Friday Intuitive Machines had disclosed that the laser range finders - designed to feed altitude and forward-velocity readings to Odysseus' autonomous navigation system - were inoperable because company engineers neglected to unlock the lasers' safety switch before launch on Feb. 15. The safety lock, akin to a firearm's safety switch, can only be disabled by hand.

gotta cut that last fucking corner to save a little money even though you risk destroying the entire project

And presumably the free market response is to claw back much of the money paid to this company that fucked up. Right?

Or they'll go out of business because no one should reasonably trust them to do anything more difficult that operate a coffee percolator?

I hate it in this stupid society.
