A".
Too bad the people negotiating the last agreement were close to flowing and sold us out in their best interest (of getting to dAAddy as quick as possible). They had tunnel vision, they only looked out for themselves and this is why we got a sheet sandwich. So ask me again what “in Unity“ means to me after having to deal with those guys.
Now I do have to admit the new guys in charge have turned things around and have gained the trust of many of us.
