I disagree, but that’s a matter of opinion.
Can you clarify your statements about all of the people saying we wouldn’t have another black swan, the fact that we clearly lost despite the negotiating game not being over, or the fact that I gave you an accurate timeline for your erroneous claims about Ed’s statement?
Maybe we should just write that off as some grade A hyper-bowl.
