The mandate on Jan 15th is real. Everything else is speculation, but a logical worse case projection is grim. The bad part is that it is all unnecessary and someone appears to be doing their best to crash the economy.
This kind of reminds me of the old days of testing a new design of airplane. I don’t know if they still do it but at one time the would place weights on the wings of a test plane, increasing the weight until something broke. It looks like our economy is being tested to the breaking point.
