I agree with this statement.
And I do call out the BS, rhetoric and the histrionics but I have always agreed with your message so how does that make me an "eternal optimist?" I don't know how anyone can be an eternal optimist in this industry when we are all just 6 months away from being out of a job.
Regardless, I am not going to get worked up about things beyond my control.

You can't say that you call out the BS and histrionics and then say we are all just 6 months away from being out of a job (which could be considered BS and histrionics).
You have continuously downplayed the naysayers and negative comments as overhyped pessimism saying that things aren't all that bad at Atlas.
Can't have it both ways...

If I get a call for an interview then you know Atlas is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Bottom of the barrel, indeed.
