I get what you are saying, it's just kinda semantics at this point. I still think the company has the majority of the leverage. For us to wield that cudgel, the company must first return to profitability
And that’s why I won’t even consider a 2 degree heading change. Holding fast to what we have is the best we can do in this environment. Gains are years away so to take any loss (concession) now is mortgaging the future.
Fair is subjective so I guess we are both right. Free means without outside influence so I disagree.
