They’re only as good as their staff, and even then, only if they listen to them.

Blocked for the grammar, obviously

It is astonishing. And history will not be kind.

I suppose it’s better than a “goodbye” sent to the same group.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much...

Nine hundred grand. JFC

Claude: please show me a gif of a walking, talking douchecanoe.

I assume at least one of these is the annual Kid Rock fan cruise.
