Like everywhere else in 2021, wispa will have to make a decision on the color of their shirt vs the color of their money (hint, green always beats brown). 2020 didnt help them, luckily, they got out of the politics of a 2020 event. They dont have the easy out this year. Percieved "safety" or real money, for an issue that will be gone by the 2022 season. Will they risk 60 percent of their membership? Will be interesting to see. I know for a fact that their decisions in 2 weeks will define a pretty large number of renewal decisions. I would not want to be in their shoes
They're going to alienate a large percentage of their membership no matter their decision, but that's the sexy part of a free market capitalist economy, those with the deepest pockets in washington get the most members. To be honest, theres one guy who could navigate this river of shit and have wispa walk out smelling like a rose, if they were smart, they'd remember which whiskey Rick likes best and get him a case of it, as well as a hefty consultant fee for 2021 to keep the memberships political diversity directed in the same path. That claude fella seems like a good BS artist, but hes no Rick, the last couple years being the proofed pudding of that. I dont know if Rick's full of shit, or honest, but he has a way of finding that minute section of the road where nobody is mad enough to stab anyone else. Also, Vegas. Nope, theres only one place in the planet I'll never go, its vegas, I'll swim in a texas porta potty in August, or cross the golden gate bridge before I ever go to vegas. That place is designed for scumbags like me.
