Listen, I'd love to look at our trajectory and see massive growth. Or even merger levels. Or even current 1000 under merger levels. But I'm just not seeing it. Should we sit around and talk about how great things are to bolster morale, ignoring reality going on around us?
I guess we could do that.
But why? Who among us will benefit from spreading false wish based optimism and ignoring present threats and risks we face?
That said, please dispute me or anyone that is concerned about our trajectory of shrinkage. I'm not a slave to any paradigm just for the sake of itself and will gladly buy into a different outlook. But I'm going to need to see the details of that outlook. And mabe at least a little empirical proof of it actually starting to happen.
