@DKThomp “Anger about affordability” and then promised that half of everything will now be free and no prices of things you actually pay for will ever go up. Reality (free) going to hit like a ton of price-controlled bricks.
@CynicalPublius If you manage people at work you will recognize this as the feedback/discipline cycle not revenge. 25 years of feedback, no improvement. The point was reached that performance is so bad we know cost > value. The poor performer is disciplined for last time. Final Boss level.
