1/ To my students and friends in the industry.
This is not the first time we have been blind sided. This is not going to be the last time.
This is also not the end. Yes it hurts. Yes you have a right to feel miserable and depressed.
But remember, you are stronger than this.

2/ Stability and continuity of policy has been a national weakness since our very beginning. We are not new to this.
Handling this is programmed into our DNA. We always figure a way out. Takes time but we crack the code or get through to saner voices on the other side.

3/ In the mean time focus on your work, on what you can and do control. Don't waste your breath or time wallowing in self pity or darkness beyond tonight.
Yes it is a lousy hand, but you can't change the cards. Move on.
There is always work to be done. Get it done.

4/ I am not being an optimist, just a realist.
We have bills to pay, kids to feed, parents to take care of, friends to help cheer up.
This is a regulatory pivot. It sucks but it also opens up new doors for every door it closes.
Look for the new doors, forget the old ones.

5/ You are not powerless.
It may seem as if you have no control, but you do.
The state will do what it always does. You do what you can.
Sometimes it's enough, sometimes it isn't. Every single contribution, no matter how little helps and adds up.

6/ I am not a fan. I never was. I don't think I ever will be.
We fought it the last time, we will fight it again. It took forever. In the end it wasn't us.
Commercial consideration and business always wins in the end. They will win this time too. Just don't hold your breath.

7/ Spread the light. And hope.
Not despair and darkness. Its the most important thing you can do.
If you can't find it inside you right now, look around. Go for a walk, catch a sunrise or a sunset, make a loved one smile.
And stop fighting the trolls.
