I think you misinterpret what Iām saying as blaming shareholders for not listening. Iām not trying to tell shareholders that I agreed with Jordan and that I blame them for messing up. Iām simply saying that Jordan is probably upset that we didnāt do what he wanted, which is why heās been missing the last couple days. Sorry if I made it sound that way. I didnāt intend that.
Iāve had some time to reflect and believe that doing what he asked us to do by putting the remaining funds on at a 1% spread would not have solved the problem. I think Jordan is right that park rates canāt be effective without a tight peg, but they also canāt be effective if the reserve is as low as ours was, because people lose confidence that they will get their money back, so they donāt take the risk of parking. So I agree with Jordan about a tight spread being necessary for parking to work at all, but disagree that parking would have made a difference in this situation, even with a 1% spread in place. The system canāt work with such low reserves. People need to have some amount of confidence for parking to work.
