Referring -- orangenblue 03/26/2022 2:57PM It seems consistent with recent remarks, so not all that surprising. -- Chuck Taylor 03/26/2022 3:19PM Well, they’ve walked it back. ** -- hooshouse 03/26/2022 2:46PM That comment won’t walk back ** -- WaxHoo 03/26/2022 3:18PM Why do they even feel they need to?
