I'm just befuddled by your persistent pessimism. What's your angle? What are you trying to convey? You keep repeating these "truths" you obviously have a point, but you never connect all the dots.

You're just out here keepin' it real for us delusional optimists, waiting for the dominos to start falling.

I'll tell you one thing, the difference between F9 and AS is clear. Look at who is actually presiding over the NMB. 2017 is not 2022. Elections matter. You think the past can adequately predict the future with 100% certainty, but this industry should have taught you by now, expect the unexpected.

Also, the snickerdoodle fell apart before it got to me.
