            Ahhhhhhhh

            Uh

            Except I can’t think of a company that’s large enough to be multi-state who hasn’t made almost every decision in the last 10 years the wasnt the most short-sighted option regardless of how much more value would be made otherwise. No corporate strategies look anything like Shadow Boxing to me, they all want to just rape and pillage for a short of a time as possible the same they’re more Bandits then Shadow boxers
