I am. Schultz needs to understand that he does not have support, and that’s one way to send a message. We do not need another CEO president. We need someone who has been in government and has an understanding of how it works and how it doesn’t work and can be improved. CEOs order rather than negotiating, which just doesn’t work in government. And they’re too concerned with the bottom line. Government should be focused on providing services in return for taxpayers’ dollars, not on earning a profit.
