I think there's one extension, although you _kind of_ covered it with "you just like the product"

Some people are addicted to the product. It's not even that they like it any more, and they can see the harm it causes, but they also can't imagine their lives without it.

I think it's a vital move by the government, but I also think it's too late.

Yeah, taking away someone's drug right before they're supposed to vote on whether they like you is not a good way to get people to like you.

I think the timing of this is really dangerous for democracy in the US. It may spur a fury and sense of betrayal in a lot of people, meaning they either don't vote, or they vote for the guy who makes a living on telling them the world is out to get them and no one cares about them.
