RT should borrow a page from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At the
height of the great depression when he and his administration were trying
anything to deliver prosperity and a 'New Deal', they came up with a novel
idea.
They hired EXTREMELY qualified people for various top level government jobs.
The kind of people who were EXTREMELY successful at getting things done. Or
in most cases, people who had already made plenty of money. They had to
have made plenty of money, because, Roosevelt only paid them $1 a year.
That's right. They were called $1 a year men. Read Kearns-Goodwin's book.
RT ought to reconsider the positions. Solicit some EXTREMELY talented
people and ask them to serve for a $1. Just make sure these new $1 a year
Men/Women aren't favoring their former employers or such.
