I'm with you on that.

That was...that was a debacle of monumental proportions.

I remember watching that Press Conference and being excited...and then that excitement ebbed at the renderings, which is okay, they're not complete despite having a decade or more to get it together...

But when the Financial slide came up...it became immediately evident that this was a drunken 'back of the napkin' nonsense pipe-dream. What a boondoggle.
