That's the sort of thing Reagan claimed when he "revamped" the US economy, (ie: made it heaven for the wealthy & a diminishing return for the worker).
Every scam artist, Trump included, claims earth shaking progress when they are building the foundations of a pyramid scheme, Ponzi scheme or simple grift.
The amount of misleading, obscuring and misdirecting stuff, not to mention the hyperbolic claims give way under the recruiting scheme, it's fees - $100 a session versus salaries - $25 a session and the mapped/planned expansion. More like Lawn Doctor than music education. It's as corrupt as Elon's Space X market projection and that's based on fictitious Grok income projections rather than Space.
60 Minutes involvement speaks reams about it's new direction.
Ray, you do sound more than a tad embittered, disgruntled and jealous.
Do you also have disdain and scorn for Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford and Samuel F. Morse?

Like I say, adapt or pay a price; you can never stop change wink

You also have another option that falls under the category of adapting . . . you do the inventing, producing, developing, changing or improving the current state.

We had a useful saying in the engineering workforce that we'd use when appropriate . . . Lead, follow or get out of the way.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
