I agree they got out maneuvered, but I think that was more the result of ignoring certain serious issues rather than not moving fast enough on things they did. It wouldnt have mattered how quickly they implemented new programs then, they would be canceled now. I think it was a strategic/ideologic issue, not one of pace.

I’m glad for anyone in a position of power to not be thinking quarter to quarter. It leads to decisions that are obviously stupid when looked at as even a 2 year time frame, let alone 5 or 10.

Yes, faster progress would also be nice, but we need more forward thinking basically everywhere, far too many things get decided on a “what is most helpful/profitable/looks-good-on-the-books this quarter” basis.
