Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

BJ the Race Clown will tax these cash cows — and they can leave the next morning with the flip of a switch

When there are articles like this in financial rags, it means the industry has already made the decision to move.
Because communists destroy. That’s what communists do.
