      Yeah, I’m sort of hoping the folks they laid off weren’t actually the advocacy folks, and they’re just additionally doing the restructure and moving the advocacy folks into the other departments.

      But yeah, I don’t fucking know what to think of it. I do have a base-level of trust that they’d make a sensible decision in some dimension. But I’d really like to know more where they’re headed now…
