8. This reads like me padding an assignment

One that I don't particularly care about and am just trying to get through. Buzz words and interesting sounding things!

We have ordered a study! And, since I'm Californian and have met this state, this study will take years. Then they will "formulate legislation" that will take another few years.

And then, ten years later, they will have figured out the impacts!

Mainly because the impacts will have already occurred while they were doing all this studying.

This is resume padding for 2028. Tech will continue its control of the state. Where it mattered - data centers, taxation, and regulation - nothing.

But glorious studies of policy!

The fact this works on people is really something.
