I never said it was concessionary. I said minimal gains with a trade off for healthcare premium increase, hence I used the word garbage.
Everyone has their own opinion, however the masses spoke with the last TA and it was a NO. If this one is just another spin off from the first with no major gains, it will hopefully also be a NO.
