When a self-described longtime fan tweeted to Leavine that the sport has devolved into “little more than what I perceive professional wrestling to be. All pomp and staging and very little of what we fans care about,” Leavine did not disagree.

Myklebust calculated the city is spending $139,000 a year to fill Federal Aviation Administration requirements. That includes compensation for 12 firefighters for the 27 percent of their days when they are at the airport station or doing aviation firefighting training. It does not account for administrative costs or intangibles, such as when firefighters aren’t dispatched to other calls that come in too close to when a plane is landing.

As Gore thrived, outsiders adopted similar approaches, to the point that corporations everywhere grew lousy with talk of flat management structures. And though it now counts 10,000 associates, Gore, too, has kept the faith. It does have bosses, including a CEO named Jason Field, and executives do make executive decisions.
