It's theater, play acting as-if the government has a magic wand to yield against the shit storm they've been brewing with poor fiscal and monetary policy.

Employment threatening mandates are fucking stupid policy when it hits already overburdened critical industries.

Then they give us more policy theater like this - it'd be hard to do worse at governing than this current batch of morons. Both teams, BTW - they're all incomprehensibly awful at running things.

Unfortunately our current political system selects for sociopathy rather than competency.
Reminds me of when George W Bush changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time to help with high energy prices. Completely worthless but it did make a bunch of work for IT folks.
