So glad you found the input valuable. I'm glad you asked the question as it was a fascinating discussion.
Xoxo,
Really sad you deleted your responses. I had read your last before you took it down but didn't have time to respond. I thought you made some excellent points, especially in the area of unintended consequences that often happen in the wake of mandates, driving costs up for very little benefit. I really think I was viewing the issue from too narrow a perspective; reading what you wrote made me see this from a more big picture stance.
If you wish me to delete your quote, just let me know.
