USCF is not ready to die

You thought USCF annual revenues can make Anderson and Moskow [to name
but 2?] You think it would run interesting events - heck, lets have
another Lone Pine or Cambridge Springs -the world used to show up here
for those. And that I think would produce revenue from expenditure.
You think those events *made* money? LOL.
Yes, let's **** more money away on prize checks to a few dozen
players...and spend nothing on organizational infrastructure, advertising
or long-term financial health.
Wait...didn't Mr. Anderson just **** away $1million-plus doing just
that --
flashy events not related to his organization's needs or goals?
Yes - as ani ful no - people with lots of money are fools with it! That's
how they got their money, and that's how they get rid of it - folly!
What Eric suggests above as '****ing away' is the right presentation of
America's top chess talent to the rest of the country. He objects to this
because his own analogy of USCF is like a 'self-sustaining' pizza store.
How shameful people like Anderson get to have all the money, while true USCF
geniuses and visionaries of this calibre are allowed to go moldy on the
shelf ;((
