It’s all part of the plan to bring this nation down to size. Everyone, except for the nomenklatura, should just be getting by with a subsistence existence.
I think it's more in line with Democrat standard operating procedure, to wit:
- The Dems come up with a new program that has the indirect effect of hobbling the economy.
- Businesspeople (i.e., the patsies) take steps to protect themselves.
- The Dems, using those steps as a pretext, blame the resultant damage on the businesspeople.
- And the Dems get off scot-free.
It's worked for decades...
