"WE" dont know Alex means well, not at all, and he already has health problems. The man is a case of walking adrenal burnout.
Alex hates creative solutions, it really rattles him.
What may have started out with good intentions has run amok.

How does Alex make you feel? He packs a mean punch, and is disempowering.
Not to say that he isn't right about some or even many of his facts, but why foment panic?
I am all for looking at the dark side, but in a calm detached and rational matter, so we CAN find solutions. Not run around in a panic.
Wow he's aggressive.
