I dislike the notion of changing contracts, but people shouldn't make contracts with entities that are likely to bankrupt that entity. On the GM headquarters becoming UN headquarters, I'd modify the terms slightly. Either make it 2 & a 1/2 years for GM to get out or give UN 3 and 1/2 years to move in. That way there is no potential overlap.LargeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231452147187641675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606956.post-86397490768931200992013-07-31T09:02:04.910-04:002013-07-31T09:02:04.910-04:00I am glad the Jonathan Swift reference didn't ...I am glad the Jonathan Swift reference didn't go un-noticed ;)chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098290764554181807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606956.post-38150226671197205112013-07-30T03:57:19.181-04:002013-07-30T03:57:19.181-04:00How would you do bomb damage assessment?
