A comment on The state of the restaurant industry. Parent comment

I don't think that's a reasonable reading of my comment. (Trying to be light-hearted here, not mocking.)

I wasn't ascribing good intentions to Westminster. I was saying that their intentions, good or bad, and the intentions of the current American government are irrelevant. What's relevant here is they did a thing and it got x result. So we should use that example to wonder what will really happen should we do a similar thing now.

Except nobody is suggesting a similar thing. I started this thread by suggesting that the government do x, and you replied with the assumption that the government would do x+y.
