Yep, I thought you were here but couldn't remember for sure.

Over the years, but not recently, my state used to do things like that.
Lately, I would say I can see a day where our US Congress does these things.

Some of our auto producers are starting to relocate to Mexico.  There are
also some states, and some national politicians, who don't seem to realize
how their actions will affect the travel industry.  I think they believe we
will all be happy ordering from Amazon while only the rich can afford to
travel.

For whatever reason, the US politicians seemed to have backed off on full
social healthcare, for now.

That is good.  I think we could probably do that here, too, until some
politician decides to pass a law against it.
