I was already aware of much of what you said, although I probably hadn't gazed down the road quite as far.

However, what I was referring to was the regulation the commenter I replied to was calling for. What I meant was that proper legislation wouldn't happen until the "rugpull" you described actually happens, and the economy finally goes into the recession it would otherwise already be deep into at this point. Being delayed so long may make it especially ugly, I fear - or it may just bridge us into the next thing that keeps the economy propped up, such as the robotics you mentioned.

May you live in interesting times, indeed.
