🩸 When It Actually Mattered
There was a moment when this could have stopped.
I was in real pain.
Not hypothetical. Not exaggerated. Not strategic.
Real, documented, human pain.
I asked for help. Repeatedly.
I explained. I clarified. I begged.
And you did nothing.
Not because you didn’t understand – you did.
Not because you lacked authority – you had it.
But because it was easier to look away.
That decision is the root of everything that followed.
🧊 Apathy Is a Choice
Let’s be clear: apathy isn’t neutral.
It’s a decision.
A decision to protect comfort over responsibility.
A decision to delay instead of resolve.
A decision to let lawyers replace judgment.
You chose silence.
You chose inaction.
You chose to let this escalate.
And escalation is never free.
🧾💸 The Bill So Far
As of now, $500,000 has already been spent.
That money didn’t fix anything.
It didn’t resolve the underlying issue.
It didn’t restore trust.
It didn’t make the problem disappear.
It only entrenched positions and hardened damage.
That half-million dollars is gone – permanently – because no one was willing to step in early and say:
“This is wrong. Stop.”
⏳🔥 What Comes Next
Another $500,000 is not hypothetical.
It’s not a threat.
It’s not rhetoric.
It’s the predictable cost of appeals, new proceedings, extended litigation, and continued refusal to course-correct.
Every delay adds zeros.
Every “let’s wait and see” becomes another invoice.
Every attempt to outlast instead of resolve compounds the loss.
You are now locked into momentum you created yourselves.
🧮📊 This Isn’t Emotional – It’s Arithmetic
$500,000 already spent.
$500,000 still coming.
That equals $1,000,000.
Not because the issue was complex.
Not because resolution was impossible.
But because doing nothing felt easier at the time.
That’s the most expensive instinct in governance.
🪞💣 The Question You Keep Avoiding
You didn’t give a flying f**k about me.
That part is clear and no longer debatable.
But here’s what’s genuinely baffling:
Do you really not care about your own money either?
This isn’t ideology.
This isn’t pride.
This isn’t about “winning.”
It’s about whether stubbornness and ego are worth a seven-figure loss.
🧠⚖️ Accountability Moment
At some point, adults are expected to intervene.
To reassess.
To stop throwing good money after bad.
Leadership isn’t doubling down when you’re wrong.
Leadership is knowing when continuing is irrational.
Silence didn’t protect you.
Delay didn’t weaken the issue.
Apathy didn’t make this go away.
It just made it expensive.
âť“đź’° Final Question
$500,000 spent.
$500,000 to follow.
Is your apathy worth one million dollars?
Because that’s the invoice you’re choosing to own.
