Dang, Smoky, just cut to the chase and tell us who will be convicted when and whether they will be hung, shot, imprisoned or suicided.

Pretty please?

However, about that list of CEO/Politicians resigning and not running for reelection?

They were most likely PAWNS in this game of CHESS who were coerced into the position they found themselves in.

Do not be angry that they were allowed to walk.

Sun Tzu’s 31 Best Pieces Of Leadership Advice

Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.

and so on....

My entreaty was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Tired of telling people things and receiving the hairy eyeball in return, so I’m quietly rearranging our schedules without giving any reasons why.

Altho, we’re out in the back of beyond, so I don’t expect anything to happen here. Just not planning any trips to the nearest city. Have had the genny repaired. My personal bet was April 20 and I was wrong.

I never noticed this before among Sun Tzu's rules. It means that military capacity wins only if given freedom of action in the field, and not "managed".

The problems of bureaucracy were known long ago.
