@cyrilpedia I mean, that's how the math worked out.

If we want different management than we need to pay for different management.

It's like deciding not to buy french fries with your hamburger and then complaining about there not being french fries. We as a society aren't paying for these services so we don't get those services.

We shouldn't be blaming them for giving us what we are ordering.
