Young bounced to 59 in R7 after the ugly 44 last round, but it is not enough to reverse the sell call — cash gen is still negative at -$2,054/round and community threads remain damning with disposal turnovers and calls for omission. Price has bled from $330k to $285k. The 59 shows the role survives for now but the fundamentals are broken — job security is genuinely threatened. Get out while the price holds.
