Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This is barely a counterpoint (it arguably isn't one at all), but I feel obliged to point out that the BS of the past year was conducted by the old ownership.
Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss...?
I mean, the Stalin administration was basically bribed into letting this go through, so I imagine whoever ends up in power is going to be someone who was complicit in the recent crap.
For sure, they're both complicit but at the end of the day, the actual bribery was done by the outgoing owners so their deal would close.
I'm not arguing that the new ownership is good - it's more of an "oops, all bad guys" situation.
