I am not 'writing it off'. I just don't see the scenario where MEC gets salvaged into something it used to be given how far it has strayed from its initial premise. At least this way, most of the workforce will get to keep their jobs (for now).
Ahh, ok - that makes sense, the job thing is an important aspect. Unfortunately I think that's one of the negatives of moving back towards the older model, is that there are not enough consumers who follow an ethos of socially responsible consumerism and paying a little more for high quality product to support an enterprise of it's current size or slightly small. Just spit balling, but I'd guess MEC would shrink to probably 1/2 it's current size if that move were to happen.
