This is just wrong. All of these critiques of Treliving are just emotional projections with silly assumptions and looking at things in a vacuum.
I think Treliving is extremely dilligent in this thought process - it can and does for any GM, not always work out. There is just hindsight complaints and I get it, there is frustration.

Yeah, I think the part he got wrong was that Treliving is the GM. If anything it’s the President’s job to pitch for extra money. The GM generally just have to work within the constraints provided, and I imagine with most organizations there wouldn’t be many questions about what the budget is and where there could be wiggle room, especially in situations where the organization is owned by a corporation.
