Sheds light on the severance pay, the power and influence that Reimers wields, and the octopus-like behavior of the Pacifica and the favored status of KPFA/Berkley.

I think it's *literally* the case that children, quarrelsome as they sometimes are, and with their limited self-control if they're extremely young, tend to do a far better job than this.<br /><br />I agree with your overall 'burnt and dried' judgement.<br /><br />If anyone ever wonders why this place (all of it, not just WBAI) is fucked up and dying, all they need to do is listen to a few minutes of this, accompanied by the observation that any random five-minute sample is representative of the entire 3+ hours in which nothing is accomplished – while they're staring at their final doom, which is ever nearer.<br /><br />So much for the romantic notion that given a desperate crisis people will prioritize and pull together – or at least not fall ever further apart.<br /><br />With perhaps two or three exceptions these are loathsome and dysfunctional people.<br /><br />~ 'indigo, pirate'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-48692934190990028882014-02-20T23:52:46.096-05:002014-02-20T23:52:46.096-05:00Listen to the KPFT Meeting it's like children ...Listen to the KPFT Meeting it's like children trying to get extra ice cream at a party, WBAI is so done it's burnt and dried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-63338007590820741712014-02-20T22:52:19.085-05:002014-02-20T22:52:19.085-05:00Very interesting, though not surprising.
