I agree that conditions should be improved, but recongize that there's an agenda behind the piece and it has nothing to do with improved backstretch conditions.

Oh so there isn't a money-saving agenda from the other side?

So since there is an agenda should they just ignore it?

Apparently, you missed the part where I agreed that backstretch conditions should be improved.

In this case, the message, however, is obscured by the messenger.
