In another words, what you’re saying is that Hubbard didn’t practice and apply his own tech! He constantly praised staff people in general as “valuable” – auditors in particular were “the most valuable people on the planet”, and yet, when it came to opening the purse, um…not so much.

Here’s the link.

If scientology/dia-nut-ics were based on the truth, including Ron’s actual purposes, he MIGHT have seen it in his heart to pay his staff an actual wage. As it is, he was too greedy for that.
Dwarführer® “corrected” many of Ron’s “mistakes”, but that wasn’t one of them.

Bad Ms. B.Haven!
I almost wasted a sip or real, fresh-brewed coffee just then; first of my day.

Yup! “rehydrated water” IS kinda catchy, isn’t it? A perfect industry for scientologists: Delivering nothing at outrageous prices.

I suspect his current condition is partly caused by having to force ‘ethics’ in on his staff from a prior ‘ethics’ handling. That and the donations he was “encouraged” to make forced him to push his staff to get higher GI at all costs to cover the cost of that ‘ethics’ handling.
Meanwhile, he’s on that ‘ethics’ squirrel-cage wheel: never truly being “cleared” despite mounting “donations” he’s made. Each one HAS to be larger than the last or it’s a down stat, therefore inadmissible.
(Is it Thursday at 2PM yet?)

I had more to riff on, but TL:DW — too long for the 5-minute edit span and it didn’t get written.

AND plastic refillable bottles like the one to my immediate right.

Ammo Alamo, scientology doesn’t have much of a future.
Period,
full stop.
If they had ONE part of the “tech” which reliably “worked”—delivered what was promised reliably, they could advertise and sell just that and live swimmingly.
But that doesn’t exist, never has. scientology/dianetics was founded on lies and requires more lies to explain its consistent failures— ALWAYS pointing to the “customer” always being WRONG, somehow. Horrible business model, I’d say; destined to failure.
And so it goes/went.

Spot-on, Aqua. Ron was so greedy, his staff couldn’t afford to commit to their org jobs 100%, so HAD to “moonlight” to make ends meet, even when the org was filled to the gills, making money hand-over-fist. Even at Flag, GI could be FANTASTIC, but slightly down at half a million dollars or so, and all staff were punished for that by being fed rice and beans breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s surprising more staff didn’t go “type 3” as a result. It’s DEPRESSING to all be punished for one group’s being all out of clever stat-pushes.
