SC - Bad Feasts--Philosophically Speaking

[Decker, Terry D.]

The issue was how does one control the cook.  If the autocrat is doesn't
know much about the dynamics of planning, cooking and presenting a feast,
then they had best not get into direct confrontation.

When I bid on a feast, my proposal contains at least a partial menu,
proposed budget, planned maximum seating, planned paid seating, cost per
plate, maximum budget limit and break even.  Just so there is no mistake
about what I'm doing.  Accept the bid, and we have a contract.  Last time I
stuck in two different methods of reservation and payment just so the
"budget committee" would have something to decide.

If an autocrat interferes with me performing my contract, they are invited
to do my job, which is why the line is important in the context of the
original question.
