Because lobsters or something.

Really it has more to do with it just being easier to assign roles than to expect everybody to be good and knowledgeable about everything. Larry makes clothes, Brenda farms, I cook, and Tiffany makes decisions about what stuff needs to be done in addition to our general roles. It doesn’t necessarily require that Tiffany be “above” the rest of us, but if we manage tasks and she manages us, that’s just what the org chart looks like. If everybody were consistently handling everything they needed to do, then Tiffany would not be needed. Tiffany doesn’t want to have to do things like farm, but she also doesn’t want to do a lot of managing; she wants to loaf around while having her position feel justified.

So she comes up with focus areas and team building exercises and now Larry will use cornhusks to make everybody shoes in addition to the clothes he’s already making. Which means Brenda will now be farming corn in addition to everything else she was farming. And now I need to find a way to implement corn into the cooking, but also make sure it’s nutritious enough for the kids, warriors, hunters, etc. They all need to learn how to use and maintain the new shoes. Teaching that will be Larry’s job since he designed and made the damn things, and when people don’t like this change, Larry catches all the heat. When he tells everybody that it was Tiffany’s decision, 1/3 of people redirect their frustration at her, and another 1/3 just stop caring and trudge through whatever happens as it happens. Tiffany doesn’t even really like corn, but she’s in too deep now; she’s getting a lot of attention and people are wondering whether she has any business being in charge of these decisions at all.

So she bombs Iran as a distraction and tries to rally everybody back into uniting against a common threat.
