Being *clear* is something everyone needs to be working on, including me.

Several UIs all performing the same functions.  Will that be cheaper than one solid UI performing those functions?  Probably not.  If we're talking *saving resources*, I'd suggest everyone get on the same page.  Too many cooks in the kitchen right now.  In the long run it would be cheaper to pool those resources... but that's just how I see it, which is usually the opposite of everyone else.  If one of those UIs fails, due to competition from another UI doing nearly the same thing, that's yet another unnecessary blemish.  I'd go the other way.  Put all of these resources going into several UIs all performing the same function, hand Steemit over to them so they can work together and reach that common goal, while Ned and crew do their thing behind the scenes.  Google has Youtube.  They don't have Youtube, Themtube, Theirtube, Thosetubes, all showing the same content for a reason.

Anyway.  It's hard to work here with so much confusion.  My business is almost starting to depend on confused and disorganized folks getting their shit together.  It's hard to run a shop in a mall when the mall employees are having problems managing the mall and communicating the issues.

I spoke with Ned, [here](https://steemit.com/steem/@nonameslefttouse/re-ned-re-berniesanders-remember-back-to-2014-when-it-was-cool-to-announce-announcements-hoping-for-a-pump-20181112t055348723z) and left feeling at least somewhat confident again.  So much has changed now in three weeks and he gave me a damn good reason to have trust issues after hitting the mute button, but I'm not pouting about that, it just doesn't help things.  All I truly want to do is carry on, business as usual, instead of rambling like this.
