 Oh!

POJO is not going to reach his 70% mark. That puts the "unseemly" incentive program into sharper relief. Man, I remember when he announced that, doing the math, it came out to something like 575k/day to reach 70%. A layup, a gimme. They have never overreached before. They set goals that they know they can reach. That's how I took this announcement and doing the math just confirmed. I fear that they are going to make a mountain out of a molehill here. We have clearly seen a tipping point, it occurred when we hit 40%-50%--do you know the average number of Cases in the last week? 14,123,  the lowest daily average since March 27, 2020. That's the molehill! Don't spin not reaching 70%, "Well, we're rounding up from 68%." Don't do that. You didn't hit it, you set that as your goal, you thought--really, really thought--that was attainable, and you didn't. Stop the free beer and live with it. What people care about is a number like 14,123, not a reasonable but arbitrary 70%.
