MEL Tower-Go Slow?

Whoa Ex1... Are you serious? I'm guessing you are not just new to this sight but new to the whole game.In 30 years in the business I've never seen it so bad.Holding going from 10 minutes to 45 when "downwind"(????) on Rwy 27 goes above 5 kts. .Arrivals grinding to a halt when cloud base is below Rwy 34 minima but downwind on Rwy 16 is above limits on a "wet"(!!!!) runway.And no GLS. And dont give me the BS about Pilots missing feeder slot times.Do your job. Give a vector. And lineups? Lining up assuming an immediate clearance for takeoff and NOT GETTING IT ,stopping and then continuing will fail you on a line check.And on and on and on......Seriously you guys are clueless.The days are long gone when ATC were aviators.The system is broken.
