I like this but I don't understand one part under "Saying OK" * sometimes probably best just not tell project manager and do it 80/20 way.* Does 80/20 in this context mean that we'll implement 80% of what is a

Yes, but this epidemic of urban crime is very new for our generation. We haven't had these "catch-and-release" policies with violent criminals. We haven't legalized shoplifting for sums under $950 before. We haven't
