Causes of the decline as identified by ras members:

1. Money
2. Playstations
3. iPhones
4. Lack of proper advertising
5. Fear of dying by catching the virus behind a worldwide pandemic
6. Gliders not having an engine and thus not making a "vroom-vroom" sound
7. People like opening pickle jars

How to combat the decline:

1. Advertising
2. Don't run a ground school because it's boring and unnecessary
3. Nurture a positive culture
4. Publicly execute people who don't pay tax

Good LORD...now that is hilarious....love the summary, Richardson.
My small food for thought is back when I started in '73 Soaring was magical as was flying, NASA. Now, seems constant hyper-stimulation from all directions has reduced the amount of time allowed per time slot to do fun RELAXING activities. In other words, people are not willing or have a hard time separating themselves from the stimulation they get all day. To many, flying an aircraft is boring. They lost touch looking for the magic in doing.
So Richardson , add Walking Dead.
