We are screwed. We should have been more ruthless about 8 years ago and then stopped.
Now we're left with a bunch of china that we didn't break and that no one wants to own. And a humungous bill.
Oh, and we keep apologizing. What happened to the city on a hill? Let's hire an Italian or Indian or some other person with a shred of inspiration to run a real strategic communications campaign.
