….but we can use some of that.

I think that it will be hard to decide when (if) it actually is over. In my view it will not be over until all accounts are settled and all the historical records are set straight. Any point where this can begin is a win, but will still be a long time until it’s over. Educating the people is as important as any other part of the process.
