Pretty clear from this statement that the intent is to ignore the realities of the present and work on fucking up the next whole next 10 years.
Who has a strategy summit when one of it's members is imploding and swnging punches at the umbrella organisation?
It's almost as though getting several busy people in the same room requires locking in a date a few months out!Pretty clear from this statement that the intent is to ignore the realities of the present and work on fucking up the next whole next 10 years.
Who has a strategy summit when one of it's members is imploding and swnging punches at the umbrella organisation?
Yes, I get that - but I'd suggest that either it could have been moved, or re-purposed to focus on the immediate future (which may well have been some of the discussion) and that the comms could have been a bit more nuanced to acknowledge that the elephant in the room is being addressed.
Hit the nail on the head. Not even marketing, just needed some web content - I reckon Chat GPT wrote it
RA is already going down the gurgler - huge debt ($80 loan, to pay a $50m loan), little revenue, no crowds, bad governance, hubris (spending 1 year's running cost *$6m allegedly) on taking 250 people on a jolly to the WC)
this is painting a picture that RA can’t afford to cover Rebels debts then?
You'll probably need to jump into your time machine and pop back to 2003 at the latest with that suggestion.
so.. everything's fucked and do it again?
