wtf you think is happening here.
I see grown ass adults voluntarily playing in a complicated, nuanced game and when they finally do the math, and learn the reality of the rules, they don't like it much.
It's a function of realizing that they were wrong and now don't like the taste that created in their mouths.
IF you don't like the rules of the game, either stop playing, or play by the rules until you can change the rules.
It's not impossible, afaik.
We'd be closer now, but folks like quitting more than they like persevering.
It's a sign of the times, I guess.
