It may be time for alpha, buzz and the gang to take a break and go fly. Whether any of us agree with their positions, we all should thank them for their time and wish them good luck.
Alpha, Buzz, et al, and the unelected, long term bureaucratic hanger ons, are basicly this:
Penguins! Birds with wings for no apparent reason. See, they are even sitting on their 92 hour FPL, plus allowance, on of course the highest equipment they can hold, nest eggs!
They're soooo cute.
In all seriousness now as I jest above, we have long time lifers in our union for two reasons.
Money. We are all motivated by it. Face it. They have just been collecting a disproportionate chunk over the many years.
Power. And with that ego. Some are desperately trying to measure up to the successes that others they are close to in life have achieved. They will cling to power in every attempt to try and attain that.
Kick one or two legs out from the stool and the paradigm is crushed.
