While your statement doesn't change my dog in the fight, I disagree with the general sentiment. I do agree that when someone *****es and complains about something that happened when they weren't even here it comes across as disingenuous. I think T has made that very argument about PD before if I recall correctly. Basically an argument of "when were you hired? you weren't even here so shut your yap". I think he promptly got bashed for it too.
My point in that tirade is that they have no right to act as if the bankruptcy contracts harmed them. They can talk about "restoration" in an abstract sense, but it is extremely disingenuous to act as if they were harmed by events that occurred long before they were here. Akin to the reparations bullchit that goes on in Al Sharpton's world.
We all have a dog in the fight, and I want everybody involved. Just don't hold up something you had nothing to do with as some sort of rallying cry for YOUR betterment. Sorry if that doesn't fly on here...
