2024? C'mon.
Do you not remember the summer of 2000 and how that went?

Leverage is great....even extremely effective leverage like staffing 'United Next', but always remember that your adversary ALWAYS has options.
Do you not realize how much of an uprising there would be amongst the BOD and shareholders if they tried that?
