Pros

Previous US leadership was lean, bold, and forward thinking. The focus was on success and who could get things done.

Cons

New US leadership is incompetent and incapable of executing to metrics. Failed GM was promoted to VP and truly lives up to the cliche, "highest level of incompetence ". A glitch prone system is installed by poorly trained contractors and executes about as you would expect. Throw in a bunch of good ole boys, and yehaw we got ourselves one steaming pile. The system was already hopelessly destined for fiscal catastrophe because the enormous cap cost combined with the grotesque inventory wastage is an insurmountable barrier to success. No one should be surprised their main customer is hesitant about new sites.
