I would imagine it’s a multi-part solution:

You either are jumped in and prove yourself to be tough enough to roll with them, or you can’t tough it out but they’ve already beat you to a pulp once so ideally they’ve made their point and intimidated you out of speaking against them/talking to cops or trying out for rivals.

Full disclosure: I don’t have experience in this and am mostly speculating.

My mom shared with me “GMC: Grande, malo, y caro”

“Big, bad (read: poorly made), and expensive.”

I’m out of the loop personally but it wouldn’t surprise me given how many things we’ve seen make unexpected comebacks.

“Is the caterpillar dead because it became a butterfly?”

The caterpillar IS the butterfly. Perhaps not as you know it, but change is the universal constant, my friend, and trying to hold on to the past is a futile attempt.

In my experience it’s best to acknowledge the past enough so we can appreciate the good things, learn from our mistakes or anything we feel we did less-than-great at, then try to do better as we evolve.

No, you’re not the exact same person you were a few years ago, but we live in a changing world and we change with it as time goes on.

Best of luck, I’m here if you want to talk about anything :)

British Petroleum, if I had to guess.

They were largely (if not entirely) responsible for the oil that leaked/spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.
