It seems like not all regulations are equal or come from the same place. I'd bet many businesses experience similar to varying degrees, maybe best reflected in the job market.
Very few markets have such large runs by customer that cause shortages. Seems like there's a profiling and targeting agenda going on. Maybe it's best to not fall for the tales of the do nothing congress.
It's also an interesting strategy. There seems to be a coordinated effort by the executive branch to use the various agencies under its control to 'hit 'em from all sides'. I wonder what's next.
