Yeah. That's unfortunate. An absolute travesty. But we've found a way to fix what we have fucked up. And that's good. Don't minimalize it.

We've broken the system. That sucks. But we've found a way to fix it for now. Not as good, but we are trying to do something.

Give some credit to the folks that are trying to fix our fuck ups. God damn it some people have realized what a mess we've made and are trying to do something to fix it. Small wins may just save our asses if we let them stack up enough.
