I think everybody connected with chess understands that if we allow chess to continue for another four years in its present terrible state, it will simply disappear from the face of the earth.

Have you not been following the scandalous and all this other rubbish in the chess world?

Chess needs to be run like a business. These people just don't get it. Fide, CFC, Uscf, all the same horrible stuff. If they were "real" companies in competition they would be in the gutter within the first few years.
