      An old one is “eating your seed corn”. In other words eating the seeds you need to plant the next crop to survive now guaranteeing you will starve next season.

            Sure we destroyed the planet, but for a while there we provided great shareholder value.

      Shitting the nest is a more abrasive analogy for when you really mean it.

        I’ve heard shitting on your own doorstep. Doesn’t fit as nicely as the furniture analogy though IMO 😆
