    From RISKS List Owner@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 12 19:07:40 2021
    [continued from previous message]

    temporary staff were nowhere near familiar enough with the facility to
    know how to keep it running properly, and things started progressively
    breaking down and not getting properly repaired, and of course, it turned
    out that Gordon had contacts in the trade where he would call specific
    people to get various repairs done. Without Gordon's happy smiling
    presence, coupled with the increasingly shabby and ill-maintained
    infrastructure, morale plummeted, and staff started to drift away. Hence,
    they started failing inspections, and in due course, the facility
    closed. I'm not sure what happened to the residents; I believe they were
    shunted off to other establishments.

    I'd love to find out how it was possible for a 4-year old boy to do that; Unfortunately, *The Washington Post* site requires subscription.
