I suggest we STOP the discussion of the NRA on the AMSAT-BB. What's next, ex-presidents, conspiracy theories, etc?
This stuff has a very low SNR.

The NRA leadership is also corrupt, using their members' money to personally enrich themselves so they can live lavish lifestyles. It's ironic Jerry compared his lack of ownership of the NRA to justify dismissing the idea AMSAT members have any ownership of AMSAT. Maybe he thinks NRA leadership deserves to see the NRA as mostly their organization, of which they can exercise liberal control to their benefit, not the members. I don't think he is likely to defend their corruption but the outlook that he doesn't think he has any ownership of NRA might explain why he is okay with the secretive nature of AMSAT operations.

They're bankrupt. And yet Wayne LaPierre will probably still collect
1+ million dollar salary this year. Probably not a good comparison to suggest.....

Yes, this is massively off topic, but my one and only reply. Actually the NRA is in very good financial shape. However they are dissolving the corporation in New York and re-incorporating in Texas. The New York bankruptcy filing is the method to close out the finances on the New York corporation. This was done because the state government in New York (where the NRA has been incorporated for ages and ages) is going out of it's way to make life difficult for the NRA. By moving to a friendlier state, the NRA can continue it's operations without having to fight the state government.
BTW, I am not a SiriusXM shareholder, but I am a very long term customer, so I hope this will not cause any service interruptions... Reports are that it will not.
