For newly converted transplants and ebullient young Hamiltonians, these may seem like shocking developments, but to anyone who has lived here with open eyes and studied their history, they will know that this was both predictable and, in truth, preventable.

Hamilton has highly proprietary and incestuous DNA in every institution and every sector, whether it's politics, business, arts and culture, or education. Almost invariably you'll find a relatively small subset of individuals directing the dialogue and protecting their self-interests. Maybe it's the unwritten flipside of the city's famous "big fish, small pond" dynamic. Big fish atrophies, small fish get eaten. Transformative change typically waits on corporeal disintegration.
