(January or February ?) Understand that this is a process problem, not a "powers that be" problem. This is not a case of siding "with Terry" and "against the powers that be". This is a case of pointing at a broken process and saying out loud "Oh, look! A broken process!". If you are looking at this as a "powers that be" problem, then you are pointing at the effect and calling it the cause. The first step towards a fix is to allow the process to be changed, and to attack all the systemic problems from that angle. This will have the effect of relieving the pressure on Jordan and David, and it will then be possible to tackle the other, more meaningful, problems.
