They cant make money in the bad times and cant make a profit in the good times ? The government is far overreaching their power and mandates. This should make you worry at night even if you are not an investor. What's next ? You start a business and do really well and your business is seized ? It's happening right now in the poo hole countries

How can any sensible person not see this for what it is.. just a tax grab, with no plan to deal with the actual issue of lack of supply!!
