If there were other warning shots in addition to this one, that’s even worse! We’re already playing in Easy Mode here.
Playing devil’s advocate, if the government isn’t aware that the game is on, it doesn’t matter if it’s on easy mode—the performance is likely poor independent of the game’s difficulty.
I agree with the post’s sentiment that warning shots would currently not do much good. But I am, as of now, still somewhat hopeful that the bottleneck is getting the government to see and target a problem, not the government’s ability to act on an identified issue.
