As much as I hate sports analogies — where the f*ck is our offense?! G*d damn. This is an example of complicity and cowardice. The methodology described in the article is madness (and as innovative as a rotary telephone). The current trajectory is like abandoning your property — expecting it to be improved 3 years from now. Criminal negligence.

This is not normal. I have no need to tolerate this any longer.
