it doesn't look like it. that is, it doesn't look like they're bluffing about cutting the cerb. they are bluffing about the support - this budget is going to be vicious.
however, they seem to have legitimately miscalculated the strength of the virus. but, i mean - if i saw this coming, almost perfectly, why didn't anybody else? you'd think they saw it coming, they just ignored it.
there is some possibility that they may acknowledge a miscalculation and give in.
i need to call on the bloc to support the speech, because the other possibility is not good for anybody.
