Two decades to figure out how to pivot. Millions in free cash flow (which is what they are probably after) and a $1.5b note that they will surely leverage to write off the free cash flow.

I remember when someone promised smaller government.. Instead of it being a grant it is now something the government will staff and bloat. I'm sure it will fall woefully behind schedule and cost 10X the original price. Maybe we could even put another TV personality in charge of this department.
