        While I agree with your distaste, I hope you remain wary. Their incompetence seems to have the outcome of enriching them and their sponsors. Can you still attribute incompetence when they are benefitting?

It won’t take long (likely one election cycle) and I’m sure we’ll see them use it in the fullest extent.
