This is something that i pointed out a while ago...we've been operating in a state of overstretch for a while now (whatever the seniors say) and our continued output has been largely thanks to everyone going that extra mile.
The loyalty and pride that spurred that effort was once a 2-way thing. Not so much today!
IMNSHO, the government, even if they didn't cause it, are about to discover what happens when the elastic band snaps and slaps you in the face.
Not good.
