"It's not about politics" Translation: It's about politics

"Different opinion"? Sarcasm and sniping, while popular on anonymous forums, are tactics used by keyboard warriors whose emotional arguments lack substance. By the (unprovoked) tone of your post, this topic clearly struck a nerve and appears you're sensitive to criticism of the current administration's handling of the pandemic. Fair enough, but If your aim is to credibly defend their actions, I might suggest using counter-points and justification based on facts/data instead of lazy, unresearched emotional attacks.

Free advice, take it or leave it, but the one area we can agree on is the need to return this thread to the OP. For the sake of my good friends at WN, I truly hope those upgrade times come down, I can't imagine jerking gear in the SW system for 10 years. FOs do EVERYTHING over there.

Peace.
